You fire a colorless and odorless stream of caustic liquid at a creature you can see within range, making a ranged spell attack against that target's Armor Class.
On a hit, the target takes 8d8 acid damage. If they are a Humanoid, they additionally must make a Charisma saving throw against your spell save DC. On a successful save, nothing more happens. On a failed saving throw, the target still takes 8d8 acid damage, as well as gaining the effects below (if applicable) for 40 weeks, or until cured via a Greater Restoration spell:
- The creature's appearance drastically changes, losing all color, it's body becoming a clear-chrome sheen. All of it's hair abruptly falls out, unable to grow back for the duration of the spell, and the creature can no longer whisper or yell. It's basic shape and size stay the same, though physical details may become muddled or less pronounced.
- The creature loses all traits and features granted by it's species, such as a Goliath's Powerful Build, a Gnome's Darkvision, a Dragonborn's Breath Weapon, or even an Elf's ability to Trance. If losing a trait in this way would leave the creature unable to live or operate it's body, it does not lose it. The creature also loses all damage resistances or immunities granted by its species.
- Spells and other magical effects treat the target as if it has no species or creature type, and it can no longer be directly scried upon or located through magical means.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the damage increases by 2d8 for each slot level above 5th. If the spell is cast using a 9th level spell slot, it's duration becomes permanent until cured.
