Darkfire Mockery

You swing your weapon wreathed in flickering black flames and issue a mocking challenge to your foe, daring them to face your wrath. Make a melee weapon attack with your pact weapon against one creature within range.

On a hit, the target takes your weapon’s normal damage plus 1d6 necrotic damage as shadowfire scorches their flesh. The black flames then ignite a magical taunt, forcing the target to make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, the target must direct its attacks only at you (if able) until the start of your next turn.

The necrotic damage increases at higher levels: – 5th level: 1d8 necrotic damage – 11th level: 1d10 necrotic damage – 17th level: 1d12 necrotic damage
