This is a single target spell. I can't see any way to justify a spell slot for it.
Just take Wall of Fire. Wall of Fire does 5d8 damage when you cast it plus 1d4 from the burning effect... then it does that 5d8+1d4 on the start of the enemy's first turn.
So assuming they move out of it immediately, a single enemy takes 10d8+2d4 damage from Wall of Fire. That's 50 damage on average.
So even against plants, Wall of Fire has a 50 damage average floor PER TARGET compared to 64 from Blight. So Blight is 28% more effective against a SINGLE TARGET that is a PLANT (let's be generous and say 40% since it is rolling save with disadvantage), and worse against literally anything else.
Blight is even worse as soon as there are 2 plants...
It's such a marginal use case. Wall of Fire is the nuts, but this and most other level 4 spells seem garbo. Blight is better than Polymorph or Greater Invis I guess, but that's a low bar.

I don't know if this is intentional or a bug, but this spell completely ignores Sanctuary.

Someone please correct if im wrong, but after using this 3 times on shadow-cursed blight vines, it has rolled maximum damage every time, and the text breakdown of the damage just says 64 damage without listing any dice rolled.
It's possible it always rolls maximum damage versus plants, but the effect isnt listed in the discription!

Basically a fat Necrotic nuke that's especially strong on plant based enemies which is not as unlikely as you might think.
