Taipan Toxin

As part of the action used to cast this spell, you must make a melee attack with a weapon against one creature within the spell’s range, otherwise the spell fails. On a hit, the target suffers the attack’s normal effects, and is poisoned until the end of it's next turn, as venom enters the wound.

This spell’s damage increases when you reach certain levels. At 5th level, the melee attack deals an extra 1d4 poison damage to the target on a hit. The damage roll increase by 1d4 at 11th level  and again at 17th level.
