# Wrathful Smite *1st-level, Necromancy* - **Casting time:** 1 Bonus Action - **Range:** Self - **Components:** V - **Duration:** 1 minute The target takes an extra `dice:1d6|noform|noparens|avg` (`1d6`) Necrotic damage from the attack, and it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or have the [Frightened](/Rules/Source/conditions.md#Frightened) condition until the spell ends.
