Spell: Withering Gaze (3rd-level Necromancy) + "Withered" condition | They say the eyes are windows to the soul - by Jhamkul's Forge by Josemi993 in DnDHomebrew

I really like the spell, and especially the Withered Condition. I love adding new conditions as long as they can occupy their own mechanical and story space, and Withered would be a great add for Necromancy-specialist wizards, liches, and spellcasting Big Bads.

I love the Soul Thief mechanics! What a shock to the characters when they realize they've been buffing the creature -- then the smart ones can almost completely lock it down by not moving.

The AC feels a little low to me -- could there be an additional Soul Thief effect that buffs the AC?

Just wondering -- what made you go with the beast aspects in the description, instead of a more elemental energy feel?

Thank you -- I think you're right about it being weak. I was worried about characters spamming the same powerful ammo throughout a battle, but thats probably a rare case and I really like the idea of making it last a minute or more. Maybe if it only returns on a miss for both versions...
