You hurl a bolt of shadowy energy at a creature within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 necrotic damage. Creatures within 5 feet of the target feel a chilling discomfort, imposing disadvantage on their next Wisdom (Perception) check until the end of their next turn.
At Higher Levels: Damage increases by 1d8 when you reach 5th level (2d8), 11th level (3d8), and 17th level (4d8).
