Bardo

Bardo

3rd-level necromancy (liminal)

Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when a creature dies
Range: 30 feet
Components: V S M (a pinch of dirt from a graveyard)
Duration: Instantaneous

The moment between life and death is tenuous. When a creature you can see dies within the spell’s range, you can use your reaction to capture its fleeing spirit and trap it momentarily on this plane. You can then use the captured spirit’s essence to immediately deal 6d8 + your spellcasting ability modifier psychic damage to another creature within 30 feet of you, or half damage if it makes a successful Intelligence saving throw. If you are a cleric or a paladin, you may instead choose to immediately restore 3d8 + your spellcasting ability modifier hit points to the target. This spell can’t be triggered by the death of a construct or an undead creature, and it can’t restore hit points to constructs or undead.
