8th-level necromancy

Casting Time:1 action

Corrosive strands of necrotic energy tear apart the soul of a creature of your choice that you are aware of within range. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or take necrotic damage equal to half its hit point maximum (rounded down), or half as much on a success.

A creature reduced to 0 hit points or killed by this damage has its soul permanently scarred, gaining the traumatized flaw.
