You brandish the weapon used in the spell’s casting and make a melee attack with it against one creature within 5 feet of you. On a hit, the target suffers the weapon attack’s normal effects and then your weapon passes onto your target dark, withering magical thorny vines that sap vitality. If the target uses a form of healing while the effect of this spell is still active, you may roll a 1d8 + your spellcasting modifier and reduce the amount of hit points gained by that amount. If you reduce hit points gained from healing to 0, any damage left over is dealt onto the target in necrotic damage. Necrotic damage that comes from this spell does not effect undead or constructs, but does still reduce any healing capabilities as normal.
At Higher Levels. At 5th level, you deal an extra 1d8 necrotic damage on a hit, and the reduction to magical healing increases to 2d8 + your spellcasting modifier. Both damage rolls increase by 1d8 at 11th level (2d8 and 3d8) and 17th level (3d8 and 4d8).
