Malicious Rancor
You hurl a deformed skull covered in scratches and holes and strewn in curses at a creature within range, where the skull explodes with violent hatred. Make a ranged spell attack against the creature. On a hit, the target takes 1d10 necrotic damage. Hit or miss, the skull then detonates, emitting a psychic wailing from that point. Each creature within 10 feet of that point must make a Wisdom saving throw, taking 5d4 psychic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Until the start of your next turn, if a creature enters the area or ends its turn there, it must make the saving throw against the skull’s damage.
Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot. The psychic damage increases by 2d4 for each spell slot level above 3.
