Blooded Blade

You evoke a blade of blood tendrils that form a razor sharp edge in your free hand. The blade is similar in size and shape to a scimitar, and it lasts for the duration.

If you let go of the blade, the blood the blade is made out of shoots outward as a spray of caustic blood, and any creatures within a 5ft sphere must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save a creature takes 1d6 acid damage, and half damage on a successful one.

You can use your action to make a melee spell attack with the bloody blade. On a hit, the target takes 2d6 necrotic damage. You heal for half the weapon damage dealt.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for every two slot levels above 2nd.
