Summon this spell being cast
Describe it your way — Dark Maw is already filled in.
Thick, penumbral ichor drips from your shadow-stained mouth, filling your mouth with giant shadow fangs. Make a melee spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 necrotic damage as your shadowy fangs sink into it. If you have a bite attack (such as from a racial trait or a spell like [alter self](https://api.open5e.com/spells/after-self)), you can add your spellcasting ability modifier to the damage roll but not to your temporary hit points.
If you hit a humanoid target, you gain 1d4 temporary hit points until the start of your next turn.
