Sapping Sting is a cantrip created by Matthew Mercer for the Explorer's Guide to Wildemount.

Description
Sapping Sting is a necromancy cantrip requiring one action to cast, and has verbal and somatic components. The caster saps the vitality of one creature that they can see within thirty feet. If a Constitution saving throw fails, the target takes 1d4 necrotic damage and falls prone.

When cast at 5th level the damage increases to 2d4, at 11th level 3d4, and 17th level 4d4.
