Damage1d12 void + 1d4 void

Your touch rots organic material and decays objects. Make a spell attack against the target's AC. Your touch deals 1d12 void damage plus 1d4 persistent void damage. If a creature uses an item to block withering grasp, such as with the Shield Block reaction, the item is automatically affected, but the creature doesn't take damage (even if there is damage left over after the shield's Hardness). Unlike normal void damage, the void damage from withering grasp damages objects, constructs, and the like by eroding away their substance.


Critical Success Your touch deals double damage (both initial and persistent). If you target an object, lower its Hardness by 4 for 1 minute.

Success Your touch deals full damage. If you target an object, lower its Hardness by 2 for 1 minute.


Heightened (+1) The damage increases by 1d12 and the persistent damage increases by 1. If you target an object, lower its Hardness by an additional 1 point on both a success and a critical success.

Traits

Attack

An ability with this trait involves an attack. For each attack you make beyond the first on your turn, you take a multiple attack penalty.

Cleric

This indicates abilities from the cleric class.

Concentrate

An action with this trait requires a degree of mental concentration and discipline.

Focus

Focus spells are a special type of spell attained directly from a branch of study, from a deity, or from another specific source. You can learn focus spells only through special class features or feats, rather than choosing them from a spell list. Furthermore, you cast focus spells using a special pool of Focus Points—you can't prepare a focus spell in a spell slot or use your spell slots to cast focus spells; similarly, you can't spend your Focus Points to cast spells that aren't focus spells.

Manipulate

You must physically manipulate an item or make gestures to use an action with this trait. Creatures without a suitable appendage can't perform actions with this trait. Manipulate actions often trigger reactions.

Void

Effects with this trait heal undead creatures with void energy, deal void damage to living creatures, or manipulate void energy.
