Cutting Words (But, Like, Literally)

You use your wit to magically sap the competence of others, and also, like, actually cut their body.

When a creature that you can see within 60 feet of you makes an attack roll, an ability check, or a damage roll, you may force them to make a Wisdom saving throw.  Roll 1d10, on a failure, subtract the number rolled from the creature’s roll and deal this much magical slashing damage to the creature. On a success, the creature takes half damage and does not reduce their roll.

You can choose to use this spell after the creature makes its roll, but before the DM determines whether the attack roll or ability check succeeds or fails, or before the creature deals its damage. The creature is immune if it can’t hear you or if it’s immune to being charmed.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the roll an extra 1d10 for each slot level above 2nd.  Subtract the highest individual die from the target's roll, and deal the total amount rolled as magical slashing damage.
