When you cast this spell, target a creature you can see in range as tendrils of insidious dread begin to creep into their psyche.
At the beginning of its next turn, the creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be horribly demoralized; when the creature makes a saving throw to avoid being frightened or to end an effect causing it to be frightened, it must succeed on a saving throw against this spell first, or automatically fail its saving throw against being frightened. Additionally, while the creature is frightened it has an additional 1d4 subtracted from all of its ability checks, attack rolls, and saving throws.
Demoralized creatures can repeat the saving throw at the beginning of each of their turns, ending the effect on a success. Saving on this spell does not end the frightened on a creature if it was frightened when they succeeded on this saving throw.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the number of creatures you can target increases by 1 per slot level over 1st.
