You call upon the transportive power of narrative to send one creature that you can see within range into an unstable world given form by collective cultural consciousness. The target must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or be sucked into a nightmarish planar rift.

The target is sent toppling into a terrible and protean landscape built on the ephemeral structure of myth—crashing through battles, struck by heroes, burned by dragons, or simply made to truly ponder the nature of being—until the end of your next turn, at which point the target reappears in the space it left or in the nearest unoccupied space if that space is occupied. As the target comes to grips with their sudden and violent journey through fiction, they take 7d8 psychic damage.

Any creature who has witnessed the chaotic form of reified fiction comes back shaken. For the next 1d4 rounds after the creature returns, subtract a d6 from that creature’s attack rolls and saving throws.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the target takes an additional 1d8 psychic damage for each level above 4th.
