\subsection{Circle of Death}\label{circle-of-death}

\emph{6th-level necromancy}

\begin{itemize}
\tightlist
\item
  \textbf{Casting Time:} 1 action
\item
  \textbf{Range:} 150 feet
\item
  \textbf{Components:} V, S, M (the powder of a crushed black pearl
  worth at least 500 gp)
\item
  \textbf{Duration:} Instantaneous
\end{itemize}

A sphere of negative energy ripples out in a 60-foot-radius sphere from
a point within range. Each creature in that area must make a
Constitution saving throw. A target takes 8d6 necrotic damage on a
failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

\textbf{At Higher Levels:} When you cast this spell using a spell slot
of 7th level or higher, the damage increases by 2d6 for each slot level
above 6th.
