Radiant Slaughter

3-level Conjuration

Casting Time: 1 action

Range/Area: Self (30-foot radius)

Components: V, S, M (the petrified fetus of a Great One)

Duration: Instantaneous

You summon a small nova of eldritch power in this secret technique from the Obitus Scholare. Each creature within 30 feet of you must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, a creature takes 2d6 force damage, 3d6 radiant damage, and is knocked prone. On a success, it takes half as much damage and isn’t knocked prone. Creatures within 5 feet of you make this saving throw with disadvantage.

At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the force and radiant damage both increase by 1d6 for each slot level above 3rd.
