Blight is a 4th-level Necromancy spell for Druid, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard. Casting time: 1 action. Range: 30 feet. Duration: Instantaneous. It deals 8d8 Necrotic damage at its base level.
Necromantic energy washes over a creature of your choice that you can see within range, draining moisture and vitality from it. The target must make a constitution saving throw. The target takes 8d8 necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The spell has no effect on undead or constructs.
If you target a plant creature or a magical plant, it makes the saving throw with disadvantage, and the spell deals maximum damage to it.
If you target a nonmagical plant that isn't a creature, such as a tree or shrub, it doesn't make a saving throw; it simply withers and dies.
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level of higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 4th.
