# 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 `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 `d8` for each spell slot level above 4. **Classes**: [Druid (Circle of the Land)](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-circle-of-the-land-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Bard](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-bard.md); [Sorcerer](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-sorcerer.md); [Druid](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-druid.md); [Fighter (Eldritch Knight)](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-eldritch-knight-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Wizard](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-wizard.md); [Warlock](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-warlock.md); [Rogue (Arcane Trickster)](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-arcane-trickster-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB") *Source: Player's Handbook (2024) p. 247.
