# Negative Energy Flood > [!info] Spell Details > | | | > |---|---| > | **Level** | 5th | > | **School** | [[Necromancy]] | > | **Casting Time** | 1 Action | > | **Range** | 60 feet | > | **Components** | V, M *(a broken bone and a square of black silk)* | > | **Duration** | Instantaneous | > | **Classes** | Warlock, Wizard | --- ## Description You send ribbons of negative energy at one creature you can see within range. Unless the target is undead, it must make a Constitution saving throw, taking **5d12 necrotic damage** on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one. A target killed by this damage rises up as a **zombie** at the start of your next turn. The zombie pursues whatever creature it can see that is closest to it. Statistics for the zombie are in the Monster Manual. If you target an undead with this spell, the target doesn't make a saving throw. Instead, roll 5d12; the target gains half the total as temporary hit points. --- ## At Higher Levels This spell does not have an upcast effect.
