The Cheese Touch

Channeling the history of the famous Gnickelson cheese empire, make a ranged spell attack against the creature to assail it with style points for your imaginative description of the cheese and cheesy puns. On a hit, the target takes 1d10 Necrotic damage, and it can’t regain Hit Points until the end of your next turn. Until then, the cheese clings to the target.

The following are flavor text (ha! Flavor! Get it?) that changes the original spell this was based on, Chill Touch. 

You create a type of cheese of your choice (can differ per attack). The cheese hurtles through the air as a ranged spell attack. You can cosmetically describe the type of cheese and its attack pattern on each attack. Examples include, but are not limited to:

• A series of big, wet mozzarella balls.
• A cone spray of freshly grated parmesan.
• A hot gooey stream of nacho cheese from a far-off dimension's movie theater.
• A spray of moldy bleu cheese crumbles.
• A sloppy glob of cottage cheese.
• A stinky wave of muenster cheese aroma.

On a hit, the target takes 1d8 necrotic damage, and it can't regain hit points until the start of your next turn. Until then, the cheese clings to the target. No matter what the flavor description chosen by the caster, the damage type is necrotic.

If you hit an undead target, it also has disadvantage on attack rolls against you until the end of your next turn. However, if the target has The Chill (that is, a 17+ charisma) it does regain hit points as normal.

The verbal component is a cheesey pun.

Cantrip Upgrade. The damage increases by 1d8 when you reach 5th level (2d8), 11th level (3d8), and 17th level (4d8).

"The Cheese Touch. Nobody knows when or how, but one day, the cheese mysteriously appeared on the blacktop. Nobody knew who it belonged to. Nobody touched it. Nobody threw it away. And so there it sat, growing more foul and powerful by the day.” — Chirag Gupta in the film adaptation of Diary of a Wimpy Kid

"The Chill keeps you from contracting The Cheese Touch." — The spell creator's son at 9-years-old, as he explained a game he played with friends at grade school.

This is an original creation, based on the spell created by Gerbo "Gnerf" Gnickelson, the Exceptional(ly Silly), Loremonger and Heir to the Gnickelson Cheese Empire.
