Duration

Concentration, up to 30 seconds (5 turns)

Sickly, hissing and buzzing cloud of gas swirls around the caster before flying towards the target, taking a form of a swarm of thousands of ethereal skeletal rats to corrupt their victim. Air fills with a smell of rot.

Target creature makes a Constitution saving throw. On failed save, the target suffers 2d4 poison damage or half as much on successful save. In case of the failed save, starting from the target's next turn, the target takes 1d4 poison damage at the end of each of their turn until the spell is dropped. While the target is under this effect, any creature in 5 feet of it not already under the effect takes a constitution saving throw at the start of their turn. On a failed save, they will also be affected by the spell. The spell does not affect constructs.

A creature that has been under a spell’s effect or has succeeded the saving throw against it can’t be affected by it again for 24 hours.
