When you cast this spell a cylinder of darkness 60 feet tall with a radius of 20 feet appears within range; the darkness spreads around corners. A creature with darkvision can't see through this spell's darkness and nonmagical light can't illuminate it.
A tar-like rain pounds the interior of this cylinder. Each creature in the cylinder's effect when the spell appears must make a Dexterity saving throw or take 3d8 necrotic damage and have their movement speed halved; on a successful save they take half damage and their movement speed is unaffected. When a creature enters the cylinder for the first time on its turn or begins its turn there it must repeat the saving throw.
If any of this spell's area overlaps with an area of light created by a spell of 3rd level or lower, the spell that created the light is dispelled.
At Higher Levels: When cast using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the radius of the cylinder increases by 5 feet per slot level over 3rd level.
