5e Spell Heartripper
4th-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60ft
Components: S
Duration: Instantaneous
Casters: Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard

You fire a seeking bolt of force that slams into the target's chest, attempting to rip its heart from its body. The bolt of force is invisible to all but the caster, and makes no sound.

The creature must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed saving throw, it suffers 4d6+4 points of Force damage and is Stunned until the beginning of your next turn; On a successful saving throw, it suffers half as much damage, and is not Stunned.

If this damage reduces the target to 20 or fewer hit points, it is instantly slain, as it's heart is forcefully ejected from it's body.

This spell has no effect on a creature that doesn't depend on its heart for survival (Like certain undead or constructs), a creature with no discernable anatomy (Like most oozes), or a creature immune to extra damage from critical hits.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the Force damage dealt by the spell increases by 1d6+1, and the instant-death threshold increases by 10, for each slot level above 4th.
