You gain the ability to temporarily ignore terrible wounds and sustain your life through necromantic means. While this spell is in effect, you do not fall unconscious if you are at 0 hit points, and you do not need to make death saving throws at the start of your turn. You must still make a death saving throw if you take damage while at 0 hit points. You are not killed until you have accumulated 5 failures.
