You sing, whistle, hum, or play a song that reaches into the mind of one creature that can hear you within range. If you cannot see the target, you must know its cardinal/ordinal direction from you. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw, taking 3d8 psychic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. On a failed save, the song becomes lodged in the mind of the target causing it to fixate on the tune for the spell's duration. Until the spell ends, the target hums the song incessantly, revealing its location to only you, as you are the only creature that can hear the humming. While you know the target's location, it can’t become hidden from you, and if it’s invisible, it gains no benefit from that condition against you. If the target moves out of the spell's range, you can no longer hear the humming, which causes the spell to end..
You can cast and hear this spell through solid objects if you are familiar with the target and know it is beyond the barrier. Magical silence, 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood blocks the spell. The spell doesn't have to follow a straight line and can travel freely around corners or through openings.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8--and the range from which you can hear the affected target's humming doubles--for each slot level above 2nd.
