Bursting Sinew

You overload a corpse within range with violent necrotic energy, causing it to violently burst in a barrage of blood and bone. Any creature within 10 feet of the exploding corpse must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, the creature takes 1d10 Piercing damage. On a success, the creature takes no damage.

The remains of the corpse targeted by this spell are turned into a viscous pile of mush, and becomes too damaged for this cantrip and typical revival spells (such as Revivify) to work on it.

Cantrip Upgrade. The damage increases by 1d10 when you reach levels 5 (2d10), 11 (3d10), and 17 (4d10).
