You brandish the weapon used in the spell’s casting and make a melee attack with it against one creature within 5 feet of you. On a hit, the target suffers the weapon attack’s normal effects. Additionally, immediately after the attack lands, you may steal some of your target's time to Ready an action as a bonus action.
At Higher Levels. At 5th level, the target takes an additional 1d8 points of Necrotic damage on a successful hit, as you rapidly age the area around the wound. This damage increases to 2d8 at 11th level, and 3d8 at 17th level.
