There we go! I cleaned up the part about the wound needing to be inflicted by the weapon- you’re absolutely right! The goal was to make it similar to a poisoned blade. I then added the limit of not being able to effect magical items and to be deflected by magical shields or spells.

As for the bolt spell I kept it within the traditional d and d distance of 30 feet or 10 meters!

Let me know if anything else needs to change- my son is 10 weeks at the moment and taking care of him feels like the whole reason I’m here. He’s finally able to wear his sneakers and we’re able to take him on short trips since the stay home orders have been dropped.
