You gesture towards a creature and its spoken words become meaningless gibberish. Choose one creature you can see within range. That creature must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is unable to speak in any language for the duration, producing only meaningless nonesense. If the creature attempts to cast a spell with a verbal component, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or the spell fails and the casting is wasted.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the creature's speech becomes physically painful to it. Whenever that creature attempts to speak or cast a spell with a verbal component for the duration of this spell, that creature takes 1d8 psychic damage.
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage dealt increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 4th.
