With your index finger raised, you speak a simple, single-sentence statement, including the word "docent", to a creature you can see within range. The target must succeed on a Intelligence saving throw or believe the statement on its next turn. The spell has no effect if the target is undead, if it doesn't understand your language, or if your statement is itself a paradox.
If the target has no previous opinion on the matter of the statement, the statement is accepted as fact, permanently.
If the statement directly conflicts with the target's previous knowledge, the target takes 2d4 psychic damage and is incapacitated until the end of its turn.
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.
