Crushing Despair

You unleash a flood of hellish revelations into the mind of a creature you can see within range. The target must make an Intelligence saving throw. Unless the saving throw is successful, the target takes psychic damage equal to 1d6 + your charisma modifier. The next time the target makes a saving throw, before the end of your next turn, it must roll a d4 and subtract the number rolled from their save.

Until the end of your next turn, you can make an Intelligence (Arcana, History, Nature, or Religion) check to recall lore and information about the target as a bonus action.

This spell’s damage increases by 1d6 when you reach certain levels: 5th level (2d6), 11th level (3d6), and 17th level (4d6).
