Toll the dead

You point at one creature you can see within
range, and the sound of a dolorous bell fills the
air around it for a moment. The target must
succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or take
1d8 necrotic damage. If the target is missing
any of its hit points, it instead takes 1d12
necrotic damage.
Damage increases by one die when you reach
5th level (2d8 or 2d12), 11th level (3d8 or 3d12),
and 17th level (4d8 or 4d12).
