Tongues (Alt.)

Upon casting, target creature grows 4d8 new tongues from random places over their body. These tongues are similar in size, shape, and property as any tongues they naturally have. If the target creature doesn't have any natural tongues, the new tongues take the appearance and property of a normal human tongue.

At higher levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the target creature sprouts an additional 1d8 tongues for each slot level above 3rd. At 5th level, the additional tongues remain for 4 hours. At 7th level, the tongues remain for 24 hours. At 9th level, the tongues remain until either dispelled or removed via a Wish spell.
