From your body erupts a wave of shadowy void crackling with purple lightning, engulfing everything nearby before the void quickly fades. Each creature within 20 feet must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 6d8 necrotic damage and is necrotized until the start of your next turn. A creature takes half damage on a successful save. A creature that is killed by this spell can not be resurrected for 24 hours, and it corpse takes half as long to turn into an undead.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, you increase the necrotic damage by 1d8 for each slot level above 4th.
