  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: Self
  • Components: V, S
  • Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You create a long stream of flaming venom which you wield like a whip. Make a melee spell attack against a creature within your reach, which is increased to 10 feet with this attack. On a hit, the target takes 4d8 fire damage and it must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, it is also poisoned until the start of your next turn. Until the spell ends, you can make this attack again on each of your turns as an action. When a creature within 30 feet of you inflicts poison damage or the poisoned condition on another target, you can also make this attack as a reaction against the poisoning creature. When you make this attack as a reaction, the reach is increased to 30 feet, and any remnants of the poison on the creature's person become caustic if you hit, causing it to take an additional 2d10 acid damage.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the fire damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 3rd.
