Malicious Misconception

5-level Enchantment

Casting Time: 1 minute

Range/Area: Self

Components: V, S, M

Materials: a vial of oil processed from a snake

Duration: 1 hour

You utter a statement of up to 10 words about yourself, which fundamentally alters the way others perceive you. A creature that sees you must make an Intelligence saving throw. On a failed save, the target believes the statement to be true. A target rationalizes its understanding in a way that seems reasonable to it, using context that allows it to believe it came to that conclusion independently. It will act logically based on this misconception, including fighting back or fleeing if attacked. After the spell ends, a creature affected by this spell may continue to believe the misconception, or realize it has been fooled, depending on your actions. A creature that succeeded on its saving throw can use an action to attempt to convince an affected creature that can see and hear it that the statement is false, which allows it to repeat its saving throw with advantage. The saving throw can be repeated any number of times, even after the spell ends.

Available for: Bard, Sorcerer, Warlock, Witch
