I have never once used this spell in twenty years of D&D. Is it good in 5th edition -- worth a precious bard spell slot -- or are there better debuff options?
It is a solid debuff skill that allows you to choose the debuff...and it is a good selection for either a "creepy" character, or a character who is naturally a beguiler.
In a intrigue campaign, or a campaign that involves affecting NPC's, it is a humorous use of spell...frightening or incapacitating that key someone who shouldn't be alone with you.
I'm sure it's useful, but since my bard isn't very "dark" (and so the spell isn't thematic for him,) I can't see myself picking it over Mass Suggestion or Otto's Irresistible Dance.

"The Epic Level Handbook wasn't that bad, guys.
Guys, pls."
Yay...when it is appropriate to the character.
