Tasha’s Flutter

You create a swarm of razor-sharp paper butterflies that flutter around one creature you can see within range.

The target must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, it takes 2d6 slashing damage and, until the end of its next turn, the next time it makes an attack roll, it must subtract 1d4 from the roll.

If the 1d4 penalty causes the attack to miss, the butterflies lash out at the target, dealing an additional 1d6 slashing damage. The effect then ends.

On a successful save, the target takes half the initial damage, and the spell ends with no additional effect.

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.
