Branded Touch
Necromancy cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
With a searing gesture of your offhand ,marked by a heretic brand, you reach out and unleash the flame that fuels your curse. Make a melee spell attack against a creature you can reach. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 necrotic or radiant damage (your choice when you cast the spell), as spectral fire bursts from your brand and scorches their flesh...or soul.
If the target is wearing armor made of metal, you have advantage on the attack roll.
The flames of your brand hunger to silence the arcane: the target can’t take reactions until the start of its next turn.
The spell’s damage increases when you reach higher levels:
-
At 5th level, the damage increases to 2d8.
-
At 11th level, the damage increases to 3d8.
-
At 17th level, the damage increases to 4d8.
