Amplify. Each creature you can see in a 60 foot is marked by your Brand of Castigation and must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be frightened for one minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the frightened effect on itself on a success.

The of Brand of Castigation that this ability uses is counted separately from your regular Brand of Castigation. Meaning that if you use your regular Brand of Castigation and this ability, you can have two or more branded creatures. This Brand of Castigation benefits from all other class or subclass ability that may affect it. And Finally, marking a single creature with multiple Brand of Castigations does NOT give stacking benefits.

Upon reaching 18th level, large draconic wings sprout from your back. You gain a flying speed of 80 feet. Creatures under the affect of your Brand of Castigation are vulnerable to the damage type associated with your dragon type.
