Spell
Nightglass Surge
Created by JRod33A devastating fourth-level incantation of void magic that tears open rifts of pure darkness within your target's body, manifesting as razor-sharp shards of obsidian void glass. Upon casting, these parasitic fragments embed themselves deep within flesh and bone, siphoning vitality and magical essence from the afflicted creature to sustain their own existence. The shards continue to spread and multiply as long as they remain within the host, each one drinking life force like a parasite feeds on blood. Victims of this curse experience excruciating pain as the void glass penetrates deeper, while simultaneously feeling their strength and magical reserves slowly drain away. The parasitic nature of the spell means it resists removal and healing magic, requiring powerful countermeasures to fully expunge the embedded fragments. Only through intensive magical intervention or the death of the host can the nightglass shards finally cease their relentless consumption.

Effects
Effects
Upon casting, the target must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, they take 4d8 necrotic damage and suffer the effects of the parasitic shards, losing 1d4 hit points at the start of each of their turns as the shards siphon their life force. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of their turns, ending the effect on a success. Healing magic cannot restore hit points while the shards remain embedded.
