Indalamar’s Bladestorm

4-level Conjuration

You unleash a storm of metal shrapnel in a 30-foot radius sphere around you, cutting and slicing their way through your foes. Each creature within range must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 6d6 piercing damage, taking half on a success.   A creature that fails its saving throw takes an additional 1d4 slashing damage at the start of each of its turns as it bleeds profusely. A creature can use its action to make a Wisdom (Medicine) of a DC equal to your spell save DC, staunching the bleeding on a success. A creature with no blood does not take this extra damage.
 
At higher levels: When you casting this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the spells initial damage increases by 1d6 per spell slot level expended above 4th.
