Spell Description

Necromantic energy washes over a creature of your choice that you can see within range, draining moisture and vitality from it. The target must make a Constitution saving throw. The target takes 💀 Necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. This spell has no effect on undead or constructs.

At Higher Levels

If you target a plant creature or a magical plant, it makes the saving throw with disadvantage, and the spell deals maximum damage to it.
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the damage increases by for each slot level above 4th.
If you target a nonmagical plant that isn't a creature, such as a tree or shrub, it doesn't make a saving throw, it simply withers and dies.
