Crimson Verse

You speak a jagged crimson verse, conjuring spectral red claws that lash out at one creature you can see within range. The target must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, it takes 2d6 slashing damage and begins to bleed. A bleeding target takes 1d4 necrotic damage at the start of each of its turns until the spell ends. The target, or a creature within 5 feet of it, can use an action to stanch the wound, ending the effect. On a successful save, the target takes half the initial damage and doesn’t bleed.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the initial damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 1st.
