Notes

• The incantation for Hunger of Hadar is Ira et Dolor, Latin for "anger and pain".
• The spell's cold damage seems to be not dealt by the caster, but the created environment instead. As a result, it will not trigger Winter's Clutches's Encrusted with Frost (Condition) effect.
• As of Patch #6, the spell mistakenly uses a fixed Spell Save DC of 12 instead of the caster's, although this only affects the 2d6Acid damage as the rest of the spell's effects don't require a saving throw.
