Make a ranged spell attack\r\nagainst a creature that you can see within range. On a hit, the\r\ntarget takes 2d8 necrotic damage and is linked by the syphoning\r\ngrasp.\r\n\r\nAt the start of each of the target creatures turns whilst the link\r\nis attached, it must succeed on a Constitution saving throw, or\r\ntake an additional 2d6 necrotic damage, taking half on a\r\nsuccess.\r\n\r\nAny necrotic damage dealt by this spell reduces the target\r\ncreature's hit point maximum by an amount equal to the damage\r\ndealt. Additionally, this spell has no effect on constructs or\r\nundead.\r\n\r\nThe tether is broken if its takes radiant damage greater than\r\nyour spellcaster level + the spell's level, or the target creature\r\nstarts its turn more that 60 feet away from the caster. Either\r\neffects end the spell early.","higherlevels":"When you cast this spell using a spell slot\r\nof 4th level or higher, the initial damage of the spell increases by\r\n1d8 per spell slot level expended above 3rd.","source":"The Archive of Esoteric Secrets","tabledata":"","tags":"Spell,Sorcerer,Warlock,Wizard,3rd Level ","isShared":"on","templateId":"19","blockId":"245041"}
