You attempt to compel a creature into a duel imbued with dark, necromantic energy. You target one creature you can see within range, sending a chilling, supernatural challenge that taps into the deepest fears and instincts of the creature. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is drawn into the duel, feeling an overwhelming urge to engage in combat with you.
For the duration, the target has disadvantage on attack rolls against creatures other than you, and must make a Wisdom saving throw each time it attempts to move to a space that is more than 30 feet away from you. The spell ends if you attack any creature other than the target, if companion of yours harms the target or casts a harmful spell on it, or if you end your turn more than 30ft away from the target.
The Challenge of the Damned is not just a magical compulsion but also a psychological torment. The target might see haunting visions of their past defeats or fears materializing around you, making the duel feel like an inevitable confrontation with their own demons.
