Spell

Footsteps Of Doom

Created by Kstarfireheart3583

This devastating incantation channels the primal power of a ritualistic dance, requiring the caster to maintain an elaborate, measured performance while focusing their intent upon a target anywhere within the same plane of existence. As the bard executes each deliberate step for a full five minutes, their concentration weaves a connection to their chosen victim, building arcane tension with every movement. When the ritual reaches its crescendo, a torrent of necrotic and force energy—the manifestation of death itself—erupts toward the target, dealing 10d6 + 20 damage and leaving them engulfed in a supernatural vortex of swirling purple dust. The target may attempt a Charisma saving throw (DC 16) to halve the devastating impact of this spell. The shimmering violet haze that envelops the victim serves as a haunting reminder of the bard's deadly artistry. This spell demands absolute focus and cannot be interrupted without breaking the ritual entirely, making it a potent but risky choice in combat.
