Eldritch Whips
Evocation cantrip
Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: Self (5-foot radius)
Components: V
Duration: Instantaneous
Tethered to forbidden forces, you unleash a flurry of spectral tendrils from your body, lashing at the minds of those nearby. Each creature within 5 feet of you, other than yourself, must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or take 1d8 psychic damage as the whips rake through their consciousness with searing whispers and eldritch agony.
The tendrils are invisible to the untrained eye but leave shimmering distortions in the air flickers of alien limbs, coiling shadows, or jagged lines of mental static.
The spell’s damage increases when you reach higher levels:
-
At 5th level, the damage increases to 2d8.
-
At 11th level, the damage increases to 3d8.
-
At 17th level, the damage increases to 4d8.
