"We had created monsters we couldn't control. We drugged them, tortured them, eviscerated them... we brutalized their minds... but it did not work. Until they came. And it was not their force of will - not their void devilry - not their alien darkness... it was something else. It was that somehow, from within the derelict-horror, they had learned a way to see inside an ugly, broken thing... and take away its pain." - A man, twisted in mind and form, on the saviors of his "creations"
The user reaches out, mentally and physically, and calms any fears, traumas, and rampant abnormal emotions in the target, blasting them apart metaphysically. The target - or the caster(s) of the initial spell, if the target is magically influenced - makes a Charisma save against the caster, at disadvantage. On a failed save, the target is rendered catatonic for 1d6 rounds, while the emotions and possible magical effects are calmed and/or dispelled, and any caster(s) maintaining a concentration-based effect on the target take 40d6 psychic damage as backlash, also losing concentration, and any other malignant mind-based effects such as Charmed on the target are dispelled. On a success, the target painlessly takes 20d6 psychic damage.
This spell requires knowledge of what exactly caused the mental distress of the target, and if not magically inflicted, the ability to understand and forgive them for their actions while distressed. The main target, if they fall to or below 0 HP from this spell, do not die, and instead return to full HP, in a calm, serene mental state, and any spells that affect the mind malignantly instantly end. If a caster affecting the target would, however, they will suffer similar effects to what they inflicted on their target, if inapplicable, they will enter a coma-like state, that only a wish spell can restore them from.
