Words of Discouragement

1-level Enchantment

Casting Time: Action

Range/Area: 60 Feet

Components: Verbal

Duration: Instantaneous

You launch a diatribe against a creature you can see within range, listing its shortcomings and failures and attempting to rouse its insecurities. If the creature can hear you and understands a language (though it need not understand you specifically), it must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, it takes 2d8 psychic damage and becomes timorous for 1 minute or until it succeeds on an ability check or attack roll. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage and doesn’t become timorous. A timorous creature makes ability checks and attack rolls with disadvantage and, if it rolls a 1 on the d20 for any of these rolls, it takes 2d8 psychic damage.

At higher levels:

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the initial damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 1st.

Available for: Bard, Warlock, Wizard
