# Blight *4th-level, Necromancy* - **Casting time:** 1 Action - **Range:** 30 feet - **Components:** V, S - **Duration:** Instantaneous A creature that you can see within range makes a Constitution saving throw, taking `dice:8d8|noform|noparens|avg` (`8d8`) Necrotic damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. A Plant creature automatically fails the save. Alternatively, target a nonmagical plant that isn't a creature, such as a tree or shrub. It doesn't make a save; it simply withers and dies. **Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot.** The damage increases by `dice:1d8|noform|noparens|avg|text(1d8)` for each spell slot level above 4. **Classes**: [Artificer (Alchemist)](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-alchemist-tce.md "subclass=TCE;class=TCE"); [Bard](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-bard.md); [Cleric (Grave Domain)](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-grave-domain-xge.md "subclass=XGE;class=XPHB"); [Druid (Circle of Spores)](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-circle-of-spores-tce.md "subclass=TCE;class=XPHB"); [Druid (Circle of the Land, Arid Land)](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-circle-of-the-land-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Druid](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-druid.md); [Fighter (Eldritch Knight)](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-eldritch-knight-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Rogue (Arcane Trickster)](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-arcane-trickster-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Sorcerer](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-sorcerer.md); [Warlock](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-warlock.md); [Wizard](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-wizard.md) *Source: Player's Handbook (2024) p. 247.
