Tone of Truth

Gretchen raises her voice to GRANDMA TONE™️, points her crooked finger, and casts "Zone of Truth."

You create a magical zone that guards against deception in a 15-foot-radius sphere centered on a point of your choice within range. Until the spell ends, a creature that enters the spell's area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there can't speak a deliberate lie while in the radius.

An affected creature is aware of the spell and can thus avoid answering questions to which it would normally respond with a lie. Such a creature can be evasive in its answers as long as it remains within the boundaries of the truth.

This spell can be used once per short rest.
