The Torture dance is a very unique spell that requires at least 3 people and a source of music. This source can be a bard, a magic item, etc., but it must play the Torture Dance. The spell requires no actual caster, and it's simply an effect of this ritual. There is no limit to the amount of dancers, and allies to the dancers can join on their turn.
The 3 people will succumb to the magic of the dance, and begin dancing. Anyone, aside from allies to the dancers, who witnesses the dance must succeed a DC 20 wisdom saving throw or immediately becomes frightened and runs as far away as possible. If someone who is frightened cannot run or look away, they take 5d12 psychic damage for each Dancer taking part every turn they start looking at the dance. Psychic damage that would cause death instead causes the inflicted target to go insane at 1 hp and become indefinitely charmed by all the dancers.
The dance can go on indefinitely, but the dancers gain a point of exhaustion every hour they dance.
