You speak a single sentence statement containing the work "docent" to a creature you can see within range while holding up your index finger. The target must succeed on an Intelligence saving throw or accept the statement as fact at the end of your turn. The spell has no effect if the target is undead, if it doesn't understand your language, or if your statement is directly harmful to it.
If the target has no previous opinion on the subject of the statement, the fact is accepted permanently.
If the statement conflicts with the target's direct experience, the target suffers 2d4+1 psychic damage and is INCAPACITATED until the end of its turn.
Thereafter, the target does not believe the statement.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, you can affect one additional creature for each slot level above 1st. The creatures must be within 30 feet of each other when you target them.
