As an action, you choose one
creature type from aberrations, celestials, fey, fiends, or
undead and produce an apotropaic for the chosen creature
type. As a result, creatures that do not have blood in their
body are not immune to this blood curse. Each creature of
the chosen type within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom
saving throw. On a failure, it is turned for 1 minute or until it
takes any damage.
A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as
far away from you as it can, and it can't willingly end its move
in a space within 30 feet of you. It also can't take reactions.
For its action, it can only use the Dash action or try to escape
from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there's
nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.

is reduced to 0 hit points.
