The caster proposes a joke, riddle, or game of charades to the target creature. If the creature's intelligence score is less than 8, this spell has no effect.
The target must make a Wisdom saving throw to attempt to uncover the answer to your buffoonery within 6 seconds before you triumphantly announce it yourself. On a failed save, the target takes 9d4 psychic damage and their intelligence or wisdom score (your choice) is reduced by 2. On a successful save, the target makes you look silly by quickly and accurately discovering the answer to your perplexing question
However, the spell does not end! If the target creature succeeded, it may immediately propose its own question using the same medium that you decided (joke, riddle, or charade) at the time of casting. You must make a Wisdom saving throw against the creature's spell save DC (if the creature does not have a spell save dc, spell save = 10+CHA)
On a failed save, the caster takes 4d4 psychic damage and their intelligence or wisdom modifier is decreased by 2. On a successful save, the spell ends
