You cause a green stream of energy to trail from the target creature's eyes and mouth and into your hand, forming a continuous stream of energy to bind you two together.

Make a ranged spell attack against that creature. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 necrotic damage, and on each of your turns for the duration, you can use your action to deal 1d8 necrotic damage to the target automatically. Each time the target takes damage from this spell, you gain a number of hit points equal to half the damage dealt and their maximum hit point total is reduced by the same amount. This reduction lasts until they finish a long rest.

The spell ends if you use your action to do anything else. The spell also ends if the target is ever outside the spell’s range or if it has total cover from you. This spell has no effect on the creature if they are a construct or undead.

At Higher Levels : When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the initial damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 1st.
