Casting time

Range
Self (60 feet line)
Components
V, S
Duration
1 round

You conjure a whirling phantasmal scythe in your open hand and throw it through the air. The scythe travels in a 60-foot-long, 10-foot-wide Line, coming to rest hovering in the air at the end of its line or before it strikes a solid surface. Each creature within the area while the scythe is moving makes a Dexterity saving throw, taking 6d8 Necrotic damage on failed save or half as much damage on a successful save. A creature has Disadvantage on this saving throw if the scythe comes to rest in the creature's space.

If you are within 120 feet of the scythe at the start of your next turn, it returns to you in a 10-foot-wide Line, forcing creatures within its area of travel to make the save against it.

Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot

The damage increases by 1d8 for each spell slot level above 6.
