Vicious Mockery - Alternate Version

You unleash a string of insults laced with subtle enchantments at one creature you can see or hear within range. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or take Psychic damage and have Disadvantage on the next attack roll it makes before the end of its next turn.

The Psychic damage dealt by this Cantrip can range from 1d4 to 1d12 (default of 1d6), depending on how devastating the insult is, (the DM may use saving throw thresholds if they wish, or decide themselves if the players trust them to judge fairly).

Cantrip Upgrade. The damage increases by 1 die when you reach levels 5 (2 dice) 11 (3 dice), and 17 (4 dice).
