Conjure and hurl a shard of hardened darkness at a creature within 30 feet. On a hit, the shard deals piercing damage that scales with your spell level.

You draw life essence from one creature to heal another. One creature within 60 feet takes 2d6 necrotic damage, and another creature regains hit points equal to half the damage dealt. Ineffective on constructs and undead. Higher spell slot levels increase damage by 1d6.

You tear at the very essence of a creature's being, dealing 6d8 psychic damage if failing a charisma saving throw or half of much on success and reducing its maximum hit points until it finishes a long rest.

Take 3d6 damage or use a Blood vial then touch a corpse and attempt to draw its soul back, restoring it to life with 1 hit point. You attempt to draw a soul back into a deceased body. The target corpse immediately returns to life with 1 hit point. However, the process is volatile and risks drawing a foreign essence. The creature must make a Charisma saving throw. On a success, the creature's original soul returns, and it is itself. On a failed save, a random, lost soul from the blighted lands (determined by the DM, often a tormented or malevolent spirit) inhabits the body. This new soul has its own personality, alignment, and possibly memories, but it retains the original creature's statistics. The creature is effectively a new NPC under the DM's control, often hostile or deeply disturbed. This spell cannot return to life a creature that has died of old age, nor can it restore missing body parts.

You create a dormant, featureless translucent humanoid vessel called a Soul's Crucible in an unoccupied space you touch. Linked to a willing creature, it matures over 120 days into a perfect inert duplicate. If the linked creature dies while the Crucible is matured and intact on the same plane, its soul transfers to the Crucible, restoring it to full health and ending conditions. The Crucible has AC 10, 10 HP, immunity to poison, psychic damage, and all conditions, speed 0, and cannot move. The spell consumes a blood vial or deals 4d8 necrotic damage to you, and a flawless crystal worth 1,000 gp.

You create a cursed effigy of a creature using their blood or hair and a black pearl, draining their chosen ability score by 1d4 permanently after each long rest.

Conjure a 40-foot radius, 20-foot high cylinder of thick, noxious smoke centered on a point within 120 feet. The area is heavily obscured. Creatures starting their turn or entering the smoke must make a Constitution save or take 4d8 poison damage and suffocate; on a success, they take half damage and do not suffocate. Smoke moves 10 feet away from you each turn. Creatures not breathing or immune to suffocation only take poison damage.

You conjure a 10-foot square of thick, clinging sludge within 30 feet. The area is difficult terrain.
