Crown Of Discord

A creature of your choice within range must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, a ring of space around the target's head tears into mind-shattering patterns, causing them to take 2d8 psychic damage and an effect - determined by the first d8 rolled from the table below - until the end of your next turn. Casting this spell with a spell slot of 5th level or higher allows you to target one more creature with the spell per spell slot level expended.

d8 Effect

1 Heavy Weaponry - The target’s weapons and armour quadruple in weight, and they make all weapon attacks and dexterity checks with disadvantage for the duration of the spell.

2 Confounding Tongues - The target is unable to speak or cast spells with a verbal component for the duration, if they attempt to do so they instead take 1d4 psychic damage and make animal noises of the caster’s choice.

3 Spatial Distortion - The target immediately teleports directly to the closest ally, and both are knocked prone. If the ally is a size or more larger than the target they instead make a strength check against your spell-save DC to avoid being knocked prone. If no ally is present the target teleports to the closest creature.

4 Light sensitivity - Any source of strong light causes the target to be blinded for the duration of the spell. If the target cannot see or is already blinded, they instead glow brightly, making them unable to take the hide action for the duration.

5 Smoulder - The target is suddenly wreathed in thick smoke as all flammable items on their person begin to burn and give of greasy black smoke, giving them disadvantage on attack rolls for the duration.

6 Invasive Song - The target drops its weapons and begins to sing a song of the caster’s choice uncontrollably for the duration. If the creature doesn’t have a mouth, the song plays softly around them, making them unable to take the hide action for the duration.

7 Adoration - The target perceives its closest ally as the most divinely beautiful being in the realms and attempts to hug them for the duration, grappling them if successful.

8 True-gazing - The target briefly perceives the true scale of creation and is stunned for the duration.
