Visions of Misery

You extend your hand toward a creature you can see within range and attempt to tap directly into the wellspring of their emotional trauma. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a successful save, the spell fails, and the target feels only a fleeting, inexplicable chill.

On a failed save, you establish a deep telepathic link for the duration. While the spell lasts, you passively view a vivid, non-linear montage of the target's most agonizing memories, specifically focusing on the events that caused them the greatest internal pain, grief, or psychological suffering.

• Insight of the Broken: You gain advantage on all Insight, Deception, and Intimidation checks directed at the target for the next 24 hours, as you thoroughly understand their deepest vulnerabilities.
• Agonizing Echo: As an action on your turn, you can force the target to relive the apex of their trauma. The target takes 3d6 psychic damage and is Frightened of you until the end of their next turn.
• Empathic Backlash: The weight of their suffering is heavy. If the target takes psychic damage from this spell, you immediately take half as much psychic damage as your mind reels from the shared agony.
