Deadly Vitality
[two-actions]
Spell 2
Range 60 feet
Targets 1 living creature
Defense Fortitude

You reach out across the strands of the universe and strangle the root of life that might flow into a living creature, cursing them to suffer for every bit of vitality they recover. If the target creature would receive any form of healing while under the effects of this spell, they afterward take damage from deadly vitality, potentially canceling out any healing they might have just received. This damage is dependent on the results of the creature's saving throw, made when the spell is first cast.
