5th-level Spell: Drink Life

Sorcery (Necromancy)

You empower yourself with deathly energies, gaining the ability to harvest life from your foes. When you cast the spell, you extend a black tendril out to one creature you can see within range. The target must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failure, it takes 6d8 necrotic damage and has its movement speed reduced by half until the start of your next turn. On a success, it suffers half as much damage and no other effects. You regain hit points equal to half the damage dealt. You can repeat this as an action for the spell's duration.

• At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 5th.
