Menacing Presence.
Using a bonus action, you can distract a target with your menacing presence. The target must be able to see you and be within 30' of you. They have disadvantage on all saving throws for 1 min. At the end of each of their turns, they can roll a Wisdom saving throw against your Spellcasting DC Modifier, and the effect end on a successful roll.

Stunning Weapon.
At the start of your turn, you can channel extra magical power into your weapon. Until the end of your next turn (including reactions between your turns), any creature that is successfully hit with an attack roll with that weapon must make a Wisdom saving throw against your Spellcasting DC. On a fail, the creature is stunned until the end of your next turn. If the weapon is not already magical, it is magical until this effect on it ends.
