📜 Description:
You conjure a precise cursed slash of supernatural force that automatically adjusts to your target's defenses, slicing through them at their weakest point. Choose one creature you can see within 60 feet.
The target must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failure, they take 8d10 slashing damage that bypasses resistance, and if they are below half their maximum hit points, they take maximum damage (80). On a success, they take half damage.
Cleave ignores temporary hit points, magical resistances, and damage reduction effects such as stoneskin or rage. If the creature is immune to slashing damage, they still take half damage from this spell unless they are also immune to magic.

🗡️ Special Traits:
Perfect Cut: If the creature is below one-quarter of its maximum HP, and it fails its save, you may choose to deal double damage instead of the max (160 damage). You can use this option once per long rest, or by spending 6 sorcery points.
Unblockable Precision: The attack does not require line of sight (e.g., can cut around corners or through walls, like a dimensional slash) as long as you know the target's location.

At Higher Levels:
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, increase the damage by 1d10 for each slot level above 4th.
