You invoke an ancient curse, summoning ghostly chains from the void that lash out and bind your target’s soul. Choose one creature within range and make a ranged spell attack. On a hit, the target takes 2d6 necrotic damage as spectral chains coil around them, siphoning their vitality into the ether. The chilling remnants of the shackles briefly linger before vanishing into the unseen.
As part of casting Amakiir’s Shackling Affliction, you may sacrifice hit dice from your personal pool. The number of hit dice you sacrifice must equal the level of the spell slot you are using. For each hit die sacrificed in this way, the spectral chains tighten and grow in strength, adding an additional 1d6 necrotic damage to the spell’s damage roll. (These hit dice are expended and cannot be used again until you finish a long rest.)
At Higher Levels:
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the base damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 1, in addition to the extra damage gained from the sacrificed hit dice.
