For the race of plant-like creatures, see Blight (race).
Blight is a level 4 necromancy spell. It allows spellcasters to drain the moisture and vitality from a target creature using necromantic energy. It is especially effective versus plants.
Description
Deals 8d8Necrotic to a target. Plants take maximum damage from this spell, and have Disadvantage on the Saving throw against it.
There are very few plants in the game. By the time this spell is obtained, the party is likely in Act Two, where all plants are resistant to necrotic damage, rendering the maximum damage clause moot in most cases. However, at Cleric level 6, Death Domain'sInescapable Destruction allows this spell to be used to full effect while there.
The incantation for Blight is Perē, the Latin command "Vanish/be destroyed!"
Bugs
This spell lacks an IsHarmfulSpellFlags tag, and as such is able to target creatures affected by Sanctuary.
