You induce a creature you can see within range with intense paranoia, instilling in it the belief that it is being watched closely by those around it as well as imagined, unseen observers. That creature must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, it becomes frightened of each creature it can sense when the spell is cast. It must spend all of its available movement on its turns to get out of the line of sight of the sources of its fear (it still has its action). The target’s fear does not prevent it from moving past the sources of its fear if that path provides a faster route to total cover (it still cannot move directly towards them). Once behind total cover, the target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a successful save. On a repeated failed save, it takes 3d8 psychic damage and loses its reaction.

A remove curse spell ends this spell early.

At Higher Levels. If you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th-level or higher, you can target an additional creature for every two levels of spell slot above 4th.
