As part of the action used to cast this spell, you make a slashing motion with your pact weapon. A rift of shearing force erupts at a target you can see within range. Make a spell attack roll against the target. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 force damage and 1d4 slashing damage. If the target is under your Hexblade's Curse, the rift pulses with dark energy and the target also takes 1d6 psychic damage.
At higher levels, the slash tears through space with greater ferocity. At 5th level, the damage increases to 2d8 force and 2d4 slashing, and the rift lingers, imposing disadvantage on the first opportunity attack the target makes before the start of your next turn. At 11th level, the damage increases to 3d8 force and 3d4 slashing, and the slash extends in a line — you may target a second creature within 15 ft of the first; make a separate spell attack roll against it, dealing 2d8 force and 2d4 slashing on a hit. At 17th level, the damage increases to 4d8 force and 4d4 slashing, and on a critical hit the rift detonates: all creatures within 5 ft of the primary target take 2d8 force and 2d4 slashing damage with no attack roll or saving throw required.
