Description

You create horrifying illusions in the minds of creatures you can see. Select any number of creatures within 30 feet of a point you can see within range. Each target must make a Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for the duration. While frightened in this way, at the start of a creature’s turn, it takes 6d10 psychic damage and must roll 1d10, suffering an effect from the table below. Unless noted, effects last until the start of the creature’s next turn.

d10	Effect
1	The creature believes itself dead and falls unconscious until it takes damage or is awoken as an action.
2-3	The creature is paralyzed with fear.
4-5	The creature is stunned.
6-7	The creature's speed is reduced to 0.
8-10	The creature screams uncontrollably and can make no other sounds.

A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the spell for itself on a success.
