You conjure a spectral nail of jagged iron and hurl it toward a creature within range. On impact, the nail twists into cruel, barbed thorns that dig inward, sending waves of pain that seize up the body.
Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 2d6 piercing damage and must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or suffer the following effects:
-
At the start of its next turn, it takes 1d4 necrotic damage as the thorns grind deeper.
-
Until the end of its next turn, the creature’s speed is reduced by 10 feet as the nail hinders its movements.
At Higher Levels.
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher:
-
The piercing damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 1st.
-
The necrotic damage increases by 1d4 for every two slot levels above 1st (rounded up).
