You unleash a deathly gray mist that taints the air around a creature of your choice that you can see within range. Until the spell ends, the creature must make a Constitution saving throw at the start of each of its turns. On a failure, the creature takes 1d12 necrotic damage for each turn it failed a saving throw from this casting of the spell (starting at 1d12 necrotic for the first failed saving throw). If a creature ever succeeds on the saving throw, the spell ends on them.
Additionally, any necrotic damage a creature takes while under the effects of this spell reduced its maximum hit points by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken. A creature affected in this way has its maximum number of hit points restored once it finishes a long rest.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the number of creatures you can target increases by one for each spell slot level above 2nd.
