Notes

• Granted by Woe. Recharge: Long rest
• The description given is not entirely correct in how the spell functions:
  • When the target of this spell succeeds in their saving throw, they still take half damage, regardless if they are considered plants or not
  • While not mentioned in the description, when the spell is used on plants, the target doesn't just roll their saving throw with disadvantage, their damage roll is also automatically treated as a maximum roll. Thus barring upcasting, resistances, and vulnerabilities, against plants Blight automatically hits for 64 on a failed save, and 32 on a successful save
