Range/Area: 30ft.
Components: Verbal, Material
Materials: a tuft of fur from a celestial canine
Duration: Instant
Attack/Save: WIS Save
Damage/Effect: Psychic
When casting this spell, you let out a terrible yell toward a creature you can see within range. If the target has an alignment opposed to yours (good/evil, lawful/chaotic) and it can hear you, it must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes 2d6 psychic damage and is frightened of you until the end of its next turn. On a successful save, the target takes half the damage and isn’t frightened.
At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6, and the duration of the frightened condition increases by 1 round for each slot level above 1st. A frightened creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. Available for: Cleric, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
