Agonizing Blade
0-level (Cantrip) Evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 5 ft
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material
Materials: a melee weapon worth at least 1 sp
Duration: Instantaneous
Attack/Save: Melee weapon attack, DEX save
Damage/Effect: poison
You brandish the weapon used in the spell’s casting and make a melee attack with it against one creature within 5 feet of you. On a hit, the target suffers the weapon attack’s normal effects and then becomes covered in a veil corrosive energy until the start of your next turn.
If the creature makes an attack before the beginning of your next turn, it is struck by a searing pain, taking a -2 penalty to the attack roll and taking 1d8 poison damage, after which the spell ends.
At higher levels: This spell’s damage increases when you reach certain levels. At 5th level, the melee attack deals an extra 1d8 poison damage to the target on a hit, and the damage the target takes for making an attack increases to 2d8 . Both damage rolls increase by 1d8 at 11th level ( 2d8 and 3d8 ) and again at 17th level ( 3d8 and 4d8 ).
If the creature makes an attack before the beginning of your next turn, it is struck by a searing pain, taking a -2 penalty to the attack roll and taking 1d8 poison damage, after which the spell ends.
Available for: Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
