The target must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, it takes **14d6 necrotic damage**, or half as much on a successful save. The damage can't reduce the target's hit points below 1. If the target fails the saving throw, its **hit point maximum is reduced** for 1 hour by an amount equal to the necrotic damage it took. Any effect that removes a disease allows a creature's hit point maximum to return to normal before that time passes. --- ## At Higher Levels This spell does not have an upcast effect.
