You try to compel a creature within range to monologue about their life and deeds. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or else they are compelled to start narrating exposition about their life, backstory, master plan, or something else relevant to the applicable context, for one minute. The creature must speak in a language they believe the listener will most likely understand, unless they do not possess such a language - in which case they monologue in whatever language they feel most comfortable with.

If you or someone else the target believes is meant to be listening to the monologue damages the target, or the target creature becomes unable to speak for some reason, the spell ends prematurely.

At Higher Levels. Casting this spell with a 3rd level spell slot or higher doubles the length of monologue per spell slot. So, at 3rd level, Compel Monologue lasts for two minutes. At 4th level, it lasts for four. At 5th, it lasts for eight. And so on.
