You recite a deadly cursing dirge, predicting impending doom for a creature you can see within range. You place this curse upon the chosen creature, and until the spell ends, your attacks deal an extra 1d8 psychic damage against it. Also, whenever the target misses you with an attack roll during its turn, it takes 1d8 psychic damage, and must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, it is frightened of you until the start of its next turn. If the target drops to 0 hit points before this spell ends, you can use a bonus action on your next turn to place the curse upon a new creature. When you move the curse in this way if the newly cursed creature saw the previous target drop to 0 hit points, it takes 4d10 psychic damage and is frightened until the start of its next turn. Creature with immunity to the frightened condition have resistance to psychic damage from this spell.
