Rotten Spear

2-level Necromancy

Casting Time: 1 action

Range/Area: Self (15-foot line)

Components: S, M

Materials: A small bundle of rotten wood fragments

Duration: Instantaneous

A spear of rotting wood and thorns bursts from your palm in a 15-foot line in a direction of your choice. The first creature hit in the line must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 1d12 piercing damage and 3d8 necrotic damage. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage. If the creature fails the saving throw and is within 10 feet of you, you can choose to move straight away from the creature a number of feet equal to the difference between 15 feet and its distance from you (minimum of 0 feet).

At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the necrotic damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 2nd.
