High Fantasy 2025 Wizarding World

Drawing upon the dark energies within the Grimoire, you chant unsettling incantations and perform disturbing gestures. A chilling wave of negative energy pulses outwards from you. Each creature within a 30-foot-radius sphere centered on you (other than yourself) must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a target takes 4d6 necrotic damage, and you gain temporary hit points equal to half the damage dealt. On a successful save, a target takes half as much damage and you gain no temporary hit points. For every creature that failed its saving throw, you gain one 'Dark Energy Charge', which can be used to fuel other spells, heal yourself, or extend your lifespan. Casting this ritual leaves you feeling drained and unsettled, and the Grimoire hums with dark satisfaction.
