Adjacent Duplicates

You unleash a burst of confused energy, distorting the perceptions of nearby creatures and causing them to see multiple copies of themselves and their surroundings. Choose a direction (up, down, left, right) or a shape (line, cone, square) originating from you and extending outward. Any creatures within 10 feet of the chosen direction or shape must make a Wisdom saving throw or suffer the effects of the chaotic distortion. The user of this distorted iteration of the spell is not excluded form the save.

• On a failed save, affected creatures take 1d4 psychic damage as their minds struggle to comprehend the distorted reality. Additionally, they perceive multiple copies of themselves and their surroundings, causing confusion and disorientation.
• On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isn't affected by the distortion.

At Higher Levels: The damage increases by 1d4 when you reach 5th level (2d4), 11th level (3d4), and 17th level (4d4).
