Perform a spell Attack against your target.
On a successful hit, the target loses a number of Maximum HP equal to 1d4 HD (i.e. a Fighter with a result of 2 would lose 2d10 Maximum HP).

• If the target's Maximum HP falls beneath their Current HP, their Current HP is reduced accordingly.
• If their Maximum HP falls to 0 or less, they instantly die.
• If the number of HD rolled is equal to, or greater than the target's HD, they instantly die.

Additionally, for each HD rolled, the target suffers an equal Circumstance penalty to all d20 rolls.
Finally, a spellcaster subjected to this spell is drained of a single spell slot of their highest available level.
This effect lasts until the target takes a solid rest.
