Valda's Spire of Secrets
Gahoul’s Spectral Scythe
6-level Necromancy
Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: Self (60-foot line)
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 round
You conjure a phantasmal scythe of death in your
open hand and throw it whirling through the air.
The scythe travels in a 60-foot long, 10-foot wide
line, coming to rest hovering in the air at the end
of its line or before it strikes any solid objects. Each
creature within the area while the scythe is moving
must make a Dexterity saving throw or take 6d8
necrotic damage, or half as much on a successful
save. A creature has disadvantage on this saving
throw if the scythe comes to rest in the creature’s
space.
If you are within 120 feet of the scythe at the
start of your next turn, it returns to you in a 10-foot
wide line, forcing creatures within its area of travel to
make saving throws against the scythe’s damage.
At higher levels: When you cast this spell
using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the damage
increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 6th.
