Not a warlock spell at all.R a y o f S ic k n e s s1st-level necromancyCasting Time: 1 actionRange: 60 feetComponents: V, SDuration: InstantaneousA ray o f sickening greenish energy lashes out towarda creature within range. Make a ranged spell attackagainst the target. On a hit, the target takes 2d8 poisondamage and must make a Constitution saving throw.On a failed save, it is also poisoned until the end ofyour next turn.At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using aspell slot o f 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by1d8 for each slot level above 1st.Here’s what the PHB Warlock 1st level spell list is (differences in bold):1s t L e v e lArmor of AgathysArms of HadarCharm PersonComprehend LanguagesExpeditious RetreatHellish RebukeHexIllusory ScriptProtection from Evil and GoodUnseen ServantWitch BoltHere’s what the Alpha draft Warlock 1st level spell list is (differences in bold. the ‘!’ is from copying the PDF):Bestow!Curse!Charm!Person!Cloud!of!Daggers!Comprehend!Languages!Hellish!Rebuke!Illusory!Script!Protection!from!Evil!Ray!of!Sickness!Thunderwave!Unseen!Servant!Witch!BoltSo I believe it to be an errata oversight. They forgot to change it in either the Quick Build or the spell list. The PHB spell list adds a little defense. So that’s why I'd bet the Quick Build based on the Alpha is incorrect. You could house rule it. The spell still makes sense. And it makes sense that an Alpha draft would be quite different than the final. It seems more aggressive.</blockquote>
