Ray of Life Suppression

4th-level necromancy

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous

You launch a swirling ray of disruptive ley energy at a creature within range. Make a ranged spell attack. On a hit, the creature takes 6d8 necrotic damage and its maximum hit points are reduced by an equal amount. This reduction lasts until the creature finishes a short or long rest, or benefits from a greater restoration spell or comparable magic.

This spell has no effect on constructs or undead.
