The target must make a Constitution saving throw. The target takes **8d8 necrotic damage** on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one. This 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. --- ## At Higher Levels When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the damage increases by **1d8** for each slot level above 4th.
