Black fire ignites the soul of one creature you can see within range. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw. It takes 3d8+4 radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful save. On a failed save, the target also burns for the spell's duration. The burning target experiences excruciating physical and mental pain, and the intensity of light within 5 feet is reduced by 1 degree (bright light becomes dim light, dim light becomes darkness, and darkness becomes magical darkness where only the flames are visible). At the end of each of its turns, the target repeats the saving throw. It takes 2d6+2 radiant damage on a failed save, and the spell ends on a successful one. If the target and the caster hate each other, these saves are made at disadvantage.
* - (A drop of divine blood)
If damage from this spell kills a target, the target cannot be returned to life for twenty-four hours, except by the caster or through the use of Wish or a Necromancy spell cast at a higher level than the slot used to cast this spell (such a higher level spell cast to bring the target back to life requires eight times its component cost to be consumed in its casting).
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spells slot of 4th level or higher, the initial damage increases by 1d8 and the burning damage increased by 1d6. Additionally, the duration where the target cannot be returned to life becomes 8 days (4th level), 32 days (5th level), a year (6th), 16 years (7th), or 128 years (8th). If you cast this spell at 9th level, the target can only be resurrected by you or through the use of a Wish spell.
