Blackrot

2-level Necromancy

Blackrot allows you to touch a plant creature or a wooden weapon and generate a malignant rot at its center. Your touch either damages a plant creature or renders a wooden weapon poisonous for a time. When you use it as a touch attack, make a melee spell attack against a plant creature. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 necrotic damage, and takes another 1d8 necrotic damage at the start of each of its turns. At the end of its turn, the target can make a Constitution saving throw. On a success, the spell ends.   Alternatively, you can make any weapon made entirely of wood, such as a club or quarterstaff, into a magic weapon. Any creature damaged by the weapon must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for the duration.
