Vampiric Touch

1st 3rd-level necromancy

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

The touch of your shadow-wreathed hand can siphon force from others to heal your wounds. Make a melee spell attack against a creature within your reach. On a hit, the target takes 1d6 3d6 necrotic damage, and you regain hit points equal to half the amount of necrotic damage dealt. Until the spell ends, you can make the attack again on each of your turns as an action. Damage from this spell that exceeds a creature’s remaining hit points does not count towards the healing you gain from the spell.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd 4th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 1st 3rd.
