---

The caster causes a pair of ghostly hands to appear around the throat of a single target humanoid creature.

The target must make a constitution saving throw.

On a failed save the target takes 4d6 necrotic damage; on a successful save the target takes half damage and the spell ends.

While under the influence of the spell the target subtracts 1d4 from all their attack rolls.

The victim cannot wrench the ethereal hands away from their neck.
