Degradation

Putting down one's enemies while in combat is a great way to demoralize them and give yourself an edge in battle.

You unleash a string of insults laced with subtle enchantments at a creature you can see within range. If the target can hear you (though it need not understand you), it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or take 2d4 psychic damage and have disadvantage on the next attack roll it makes.

When casting this spell at a higher level, this spell's damage increases by 2d4 for each level above first.
