When you cast this spell at someone that is any form of evil or even neutral, they are abolished from the plane that you are on.

The person who you banished is unable to sense your location for 2d8 days.

a·bol·ish

/əˈbäliSH/

Learn to pronounce

verb

1. formally put an end to (a system, practice, or institution).

Looking at this definition, is this a save or die where the dc is not bound? Using necromancy and constitution implies there is some sort of physical element here. Like the spell makes the creature (someone has no definition in 5e) ill if they stay on the plane.

In the definition of abolish it implies they are gone forever and cannot return. Maybe as a ritual that takes 3 minutes and has no save. The description has no information on what happens to the creature if it fails.

Do they travel randomly in any direction if they save?

This seems like an Oh No we are about to die button, which is fine, but is incredibly long lasting and of a high level. Banishment may not last as long but is essentially the same thing. Better to save a 4th level slot for emergency rather than a 9th.

I feel like there is a good idea in here for a way to deal with a BBEG but that it needs to be more fleshed out. As it stands this feels like a gamble that will either end a campaign defining fight in the first round if the creature doesn't have legendary resistance, or it is simply a waste of a 9th level slot.
