Verbatim Strike

Effect. This Spell is unique to the Monster Dictionary Tome.  The Dictionary Tome seizes on the exact words spoken, forcing them to manifest violently in mid-air. The creature must make a DC 14 Charisma saving throw. On a failure, jagged spectral words lash back:

The target takes 14 (4d6) force damage.

If the triggering ability was a spell with a verbal component, the caster must succeed on a DC 14 Concentration check or the spell fails.

On a successful save, the target takes half damage and the effect does not interrupt their action.

At Higher Levels. When cast at 3rd level or higher, damage increases by 1d6 per spell level.

Note: If a spell caster manages to capture and subdue the Monster Dictionary, this spell CAN be learned.
