Enervating Bolts

You create three bolts of necrotic power and hurl them at targets within range. You can hurl them at one target or several. Make a ranged spell attack for each bolt. On a hit, the target takes 2d6 necrotic damage. The target’s hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken. The reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0. A creature slain in this way cannot be resurrected or contacted via a speak with dead spell, as its soul is destroyed.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, you create one additional bolt for each slot level above 3rd.
