Historians debate whether it was the trigger-happy Tempest Cleric Virion, or his hapless sometimes adventuring companion, the Scribes Wizard Evaliir, who truly developed this spell. Whatever the answer is, though, you must agree it is a rather nasty piece of spellwork.
- Tasha, in a letter to Mordenkainen.
A creature of your choice that you can see within range suddenly experiences uncontrollable, explosive bowel movements. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or take 4d6 necrotic damage and be incapacitated for the duration of the spell, due to the painful, involuntary excretions.
On a successful save, they take half damage and are not incapacitated. On a failed save, the creature is incapable of taking any action on their turn other than a constitution saving throw to break the spell. A failed constitution save on their succeeding turns will result in them taking a further 3d4 + 3 damage.
This spell has no effect on those immune to necrotic damage, and on constructs, because constructs don't have the capacity to defecate.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th Level or higher, the initial damage dealt increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 4th.
