Effect: While performing this song, Selena targets up to three creatures who can hear her. Each target must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC = 15). On a failed save, they are charmed and distracted by her performance, suffering disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks against her and her allies. If already charmed, they instead fall into a trance, unable to take reactions and moving at half speed. The spell ends early if Selena stops performing or takes damage. These effects combine elements of Charm Person and Vicious Mockery with Minor illusions woven into it to provide performance effects. A Bard can use bardic inspiration while concentrating on this spell.
Selene, Selene, Selene, Selene,
Why’d you have to take my man from me?
With a wink and a whirl, you stole his heart,
Danced on the wire, tore my world apart.
You came in swingin’ on a silver ring,
Boots on the wall and a voice that sings,
Green eyes flashin’ like a stormy sea—
Selene, Selene, what you done to me?
He was mine ‘til you flipped through the air,
Spun your lute and tossed your hair,
Now he’s clappin’ for your acrobatic grace,
While I’m sittin’ here with pie on my face.
Selene, Selene, you devil in red,
You sang so sweet, now he’s lost in your thread.
Buckle of owl, feather-light fall,
You took my man and you took it all.
But I’ll rise like a drumbeat in the night,
I’ll learn your steps, I’ll win that fight.
You may be small, but you’re mighty mean—
Selene, Selene, my circus queen.
Selene, Selene, Selene, Selene,
Why’d you have to take my man from me?
Crowd’s still chantin’ your melody,
But I’ll write the next verse—just wait and see.
🎠Performance Notes:
-
Style: Southern ballad with a playful, bittersweet tone. Think Dolly Parton meets Cirque du Soleil.
-
Dance Cues: Begin with slow, sultry movements; build to aerial flips and wall runs during the third verse.
-
Audience Interaction: Encourage the crowd to join in chanting the chorus. Use minor illusion or thaumaturgy for dramatic lighting or echoes.
