damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on
a successful one. Additionally, on a failed save, the
creature is knocked prone.
Heart Seeker (3/day). Darkside conjures a powerful

creatures within 60 feet of it. Each target must
make a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw, taking 42
(12d6) necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as
much damage on a successful one. The orb then
moves to the nearest creature within 30 feet of the

damage. This process continues until the orb has
targeted three creatures or there are no more valid
targets within range.
