Implant spores into a creature within the range of this spell. The target must succeed a Constitution saving throw, or suffer an infection that gradually damages it and heals you. For the duration of this spell, the infected creature suffers 1 poison damage at the beginning of each of its turns.

At the end of this spell's duration, or when the infected creature is reduced to 0 hit points - whichever happens first - you regain a number of hit points equal to the damage inflicted by this spell. When this occurs, you can use your reaction to instead cause another creature that isn't undead or a construct within a range of 30 feet to regain an equal number of hit points instead of you. The target of this healing can choose to make a Wisdom saving throw, negating the effect of this healing if it succeeds.
