You give the enemies in the target area an ominous ultimatum, which slowly draws on their hidden fears to gain power before taking shape. Each enemy targeted must make an Intelligence saving throw at the start of its turn: if it fails, the number of actions to cast this spell are reduced by one; if it succeeds, you take spellcasting ability modifier less damage from that enemy during its turn.
When the spell has been cast, it summons an absolutely terrifying illusion in the target area that is visible only to you and creatures that failed a saving throw against this spell. Creatures affected by the spell perceive the illusion to be Gargantuan in size, and are Frightened for one round if they end their turn in or adjacent to the area of the spell. As a bonus action you can move the area of the spell fifteen feet on your turn. As an action you can use the illusion to make a melee spell attack against an affected creature within twenty feet of the illusion, dealing (number of saving throws the creature failed against the spell)d10+spellcasting ability modifier Psychic damage and Incapacitating the target for one round.
If a creature failed no saving throws against this spell but has seen or heard a creature that has be attacked by it, it must make an Intelligence saving throw against the spell, being affected by it if it fails. The spell ends at the end of its duration or if you choose to end it as a bonus action on your turn.
If cast at a level above 7th, for each spell slot expended above 7th the spell deals an additional 1d10 Psychic damage.
