Red Rain

As part of casting this spell, you must expend eight Hit Point Dice or the spell automatically fails. Over the course of 1d6 times 5 minutes, the sky darkens and thick droplets of blood rain everywhere within 5 miles of you.

Each Beast and Plant creature in the area must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or have the Frightened condition until it has spent 1 minute outside the area. Mundane plants exposed to the rain wither and die after 10 minutes.

For every 10 minutes that a creature of any type is directly exposed to the rain, that creature gains 1 Exhaustion level and takes 2d10 Necrotic damage. The creature's Hit Points maximum decreases by an amount equal to the Necrotic damage dealt. This reduction lasts until the creature removes all levels of Exhaustion gained from this spell. While a creature has any Exhaustion levels from this spell, it automatically fails saving throws against removing the Poisoned condition.

When the spell ends, roll the Hit Point Dice expended to cast the spell. Beast and Plant creatures won't return and plants won't regrow in the area for a number of days equal to the roll's total.
