Maim (HB) (D)
3-level Necromancy
Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: Touch
Components: V, S, M
Materials: flake of skin or bone from an undead
Duration: Instantaneous
You touch a creature, transferring a virulent disease into their
body. The target must make a Constitution saving throw. On a
failed save, it takes 8d4 necrotic damage, or half as much damage
on a successful save. The damage can’t reduce a target’s hit
points below 1. If the target fails the saving throw, it can’t take
reactions for the next 10 minutes as the disease clouds their brain.
Any effect that removes a disease allows a creature to remove the
secondary effect.
At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of
4th level or higher, the damage increases by 2d4 for each slot
level above 3rd. Available for: Cleric
