Jodariel's Condemning Claws

3-level Transmutation

You transmute your hands into claws of demonic bone and swipe at your enemies. Make a melee spell attack against a creature within range. On a hit, the claws deal 2d6 slashing damage, plus 2d8 necrotic damage.   Additionally, the next time that the target creature takes damage, it takes an additional 4d8 necrotic damage.
At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the necrotic damage dealt by the initial claw attack increases by 1d8 per spell slot level above 4th.
