Tendrils of necromantic energy spiral off you and leach the life force from nearby creatures. Choose up to six living creatures within a 120-foot-radius sphere centered on you. Each target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or take 8d6 necrotic damage. For each creature that takes damage, you regain hit points equal to the amount of necrotic damage dealt to that creature.

The table of 6 level 10 players are going up against a big bad undead boss. Felt like giving it this spell as a one-time use during the battle would up the stakes a bit. It feels a bit strong, so I might tweak the radius and maybe only half the hit points regained from the damage dealt. Thoughts?
