Effect: Combat spell. When going to 0 HP, forfeit next action: go to 1 HP and each creature of your choice in range takes 6d6 L necrotic dam.

This spell deals 6d6 L (AP ignored) to all creatures in an area at short range instantly. The spellcast check has to also be equal to or higher than the target’s Ranged TN. When you would be reduced to 0 hit points, you can use a reaction (consume next round’s action) to drop to 1 hit point instead and cause your body to expel necrotic energy. Each creature of your choice in short range takes 4d6 L necrotic damage.
