Up to three creatures of your choice within range that you can see must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, spectral whispers fill their ears, sowing doubt and dread, imposing the following effects:

1. Debilitating Curse: The creature subtracts 1d4 from its attack rolls and saving throws for the duration.
2. Corroding Spirit: Each time the creature fails an attack roll or saving throw while under this spell’s effect, it takes 1d4 necrotic damage as the whispers sap its vitality.

Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot. When cast using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, you can target one additional creature for each slot level above 1st. Additionally, the necrotic damage increases by 1d4 for every level above 1st.
