Description

Your touch inflicts a disease. Make a melee spell attack against a creature within your reach. On a hit, the target has the Poisoned condition, and at the end of each of the Poisoned target's turns, the target must make a Constitution saving throw. If the target succeeds on three of these saves, it is no longer Poisoned. If the target fails three of these saves, the target is no longer Poisoned but is subjected to a disease of your choice for the duration.
