You conjure a spectral giant wasp that streaks toward a creature you can see within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 2d4 piercing damage and 1d4 poison damage, and it must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC or take 1d4 poison damage at the start of its next turn, as the venom flares through its veins.
A creature affected by this spell can suffer the delayed poison damage only once at a time; if you hit it with this spell again before that damage triggers, the delayed damage is replaced, not added.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the poison damage dealt on the hit increases by 1d4 for each slot level above 1st. If you cast this spell using a 6th-level spell slot or higher, all poison damage dice rolled for this spell become d6s instead of d4s.
