Eyebite

Eyebite is a level 6 necromancy spell. It allows casters to choose amongst one of three debilitating conditions to impose on a single target.

Description

Your eyes become black corridors walled in teeth, your gaze capable of inflicting dread, sickness, or putting creatures to sleep.

While Concentrating, you may cast Eyebite without expending a spell slot.

Casting this spell at a higher level grants no additional benefit.

Wizards with  Level 6 Spell Slots can scribe a Scroll of Eyebite to their spellbooks.

Enemies affected by Eyebite: Asleep do not count as being asleep for the purpose of being vulnerable to Devour.
Eyebite grants three variants to the caster as indicated above: Eyebite: Panicked, Eyebite: Sickened and Eyebite: Asleep. These variants are "granted" spells. Granted spells are issued to the caster after casting the original, and can be cast again without spending another spell slot as long as Concentration is not broken. Granted spells such as this are not directly tied to the casters' repertoire of known spells (i.e., their spellbook icon in the game). Therefore, if a granted spell is cast when multiclassing, subsequent recasts (in this case, for example, Eyebite: Asleep) use the spellcasting modifier of the most recently acquired spellcasting class rather than the spellcasting modifier that was used for the initial casting of Eyebite. In this case, it may result in an unexpectedly low spell save DC.
The incantation for Eyebite is Deminuo Te, Latin for "I lessen/diminish you".
