You target a creature you can see within range and cause its body to cannibalize itself. The creature must make a Wisdom saving throw or take 4d12 necrotic damage. In addition, a creature failing its save must roll a d4 and suffer one of the following conditions for the duration.
The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of its turns, ending the spell on a success, or rolling another d4 on a failure, suffering the associated condition for the duration. If the spell lasts for its full duration, the conditions become permanent and can only be removed by greater restoration, regenerate, or wish.
