While wounded, the target has the Poisoned condition and takes 2d6 Poison damage at the start of each of its turns. The wound closes after 1 minute, after a spell restores Hit Points to the target, or after the target or a creature within 5 feet of it takes an action to stanch the wound, doing so by succeeding on a Wisdom (Medicine) check against your spellcasting DC.
