A brilliant shaft of cold starlight pierces down from the heavens, striking a point you choose within range. From this pillar of light, a 15-foot-radius Sphere cloud of ethereal, silver and black butterflies erupts. When a creature enters the spell’s area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, the butterflies settle upon it to drain its vitality. The creature must make a Constitution saving throw. On a Failed Save: The creature takes 4d8 necrotic damage. Additionally, it is spiritually taxed; until the start of its next turn, it subtracts your Proficiency Bonus from any saving throw it makes against spells. On a Successful Save: The creature takes half as much damage and suffers no additional effects. Moving the Swarm: You can take a Magic action on later turns to move the shaft of light and its accompanying swarm up to 30 feet in any direction.
Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot. The Necroctic damage increases by 1d8 for each spell slot level above 4.
