The target must make a WIS saving throw(DC 22). On a failure, the target is Charmed as Etomote himself rips the target's consciousness from their physical form, pulling it into a void dimension. While in this pocket of reality, time means nothing. The target can experience any length of time, from a single minute, to an entire lifetime, despite only 1 minute passing on the plane where their body is. While the mind is in this void dimension, reality immediately forms in a manner that directly corresponds to the target's perception of their own standard reality, but twisted and warped in line with Etomote's evil mind. What this temporary reality is, only Etomote himself has control over.
Etomote can grant his follower's the ability to use this ability. They do not cast the spell themselves, but are essentially granting his followers the ability to ask him to smite their enemies. Whether he does so or not is up to him.
When the target awakens, they are overwhelmed by their experience. The targets WIS and CHA are reduced by 1 and remain that way for the next 24 hours, as they struggle to reconcile their experience under Etomote's influence. During this time frame, all checks and saving throws made using WIS and CHA are made at disadvantage. If the saving throw failed by 5 or more, they are reduced by 2. If it is failed by a 15 or more, the target's Wisdom or Charisma are permanently reduced by 1(the GM's choice).
A Greater Restoration spell can break the effects of Etomote's grasp on his target, returning the target's consciousness to their body.
