Whispering words that no longer exist, you recall memories of times long past. Fusing the energies within your memories, you tell a tale imbued with forbidden knowledge of one million nights, overwhelming the target. The recipient must make a Wisdom saving throw and on a failed save, it listens to the first two chapters and feels as if it must listen to your tale as you tell it of ancient secrets that you yourself may not even understand. On a success, they ignore your uncanny words and concentration breaks immediately. On each of your turns while you maintain concentration, you may use a bonus action to have the target repeat the saving throw, whispering the next chapter of the tale to the target on a failure. On a success, they ignore the chapter. When concentration breaks, for every chapter of the tale that you told, the target's mind relapses. Upon relapse the target takes 1d6 psychic damage for every chapter they listened to and did not ignore.
