You conjure spectral wolves made of pure energy that surge toward a creature you can see within range, striking in a coordinated hunt.
When you cast this spell, you summon one energy wolf at no additional cost. You may summon additional wolves, up to a maximum of five, but doing so strains your body and essence.
For each additional wolf beyond the first, you take 1d4 necrotic damage. This damage ignores resistance and immunity.
The target must make a Dexterity saving throw. The effects of the spell depend on the total number of wolves summoned.
One Wolf:
On a failed save, the target takes 3d8 force damage. On a successful save, the target takes half as much damage.
Two Wolves:
On a failed save, the target takes 4d8 force damage and has disadvantage on the next attack roll it makes before the end of its next turn. On a successful save, the target takes half damage and suffers no additional effect.
Three Wolves:
On a failed save, the target takes 5d8 force damage and is knocked prone. On a successful save, the target takes half damage and is not knocked prone.
Four Wolves:
On a failed save, the target takes 6d8 force damage and is restrained until the end of its next turn. On a successful save, the target takes half damage and is not restrained.
Five Wolves:
On a failed save, the target takes 7d8 force damage and is restrained until the end of its next turn. While restrained in this way, attack rolls against the target have advantage. On a successful save, the target takes half damage and is not restrained.
At Higher Levels
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, you may summon one additional wolf beyond the normal maximum for each slot level above 3rd. Each additional wolf increases the damage by 1d8 force damage and requires the same necrotic damage cost.
