You speak a single, absolute word--an edict stolen from the threshold between life and death. The dust of a dragon's bones disintegrates in your grasp as necrotic power surges outward, enforcing your will upon a creature you can see within range.
Choose one creature, the spell does not bargain. It declares.
The target must make a Constitution saving throw.
On a Failed Save: The creature is struck by a catastrophic surge of necromantic force, suffering: 14d12 + 40 necrotic damage
If this damage reduces the creature to 100 hit points or fewer, it dies instantly, its soul violently severed from its body. This death cannot be prevented by death saving throws, and the creature's body immediately begins to decay into blackened ash and bone fragments.
A creature slain by The Final Say cannot be revived by any spell 8th level or lower, including resurrection or raise dead. Only wish, true resurrection, or divine intervention can restore it.
On a Successful Save: The creature takes half damage and is frightened of you until the end of its next turn, as it briefly glimpses its own death speaking back to it.
Additional Effects:
Constructs and undead make the saving throw with disadvantage, as the spell overrides artificial or stolen animating forces.
If the target is a dragon or has draconic ancestry, the spell deals an additional 2d12 necrotic damage--the dragon bone dust resonates violently with its soul.
