Damage/Effect
Piercing

You cause a corpse,  to explode impaling those around it. All creatures within 10 feet radius of the corpse must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 1d0 nonmagical piercing damage.

This spell’s damage increases by 1d10 when you reach 5th level (2d10), 11th level (3d10), and 17th level (4d10).

  • The damage is considered non-magical so creatures resistant to non-magical piercing damage take only half damage.
  • The corpse cannot be an ooze, plant, construct, or elemental. Any other creature type works.
  • The corpse must be "fresh". This is the same criteria as for Speak with Dead. If killed where the final form of damage is by Fire, Radiant, or Acid, the corpse is unusable with Speak with Dead and also this cantrip.
  • After using this spell, the target corpse is reduced to a pile of viscera which cannot be reused for this spell nor reanimated with spells like Animate Dead.
