Mark of Cain

6th-level necromancy

"If anyone harms Cain, Cain shall be avenged 7 times,"
Genesis 4:15

Casting Time: Magic action

Range: 30 feet

Components: S

Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

The Hebrew letter "Vav" appears on your forehead as you point at a creature you can see within range. An identical mark burns itself into the forehead of the target, magically tethering itself to the mark on your own. Whenever you take damage, the target must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, you take half of the damage (rounded down), and the target takes the remaining damage.
