# Dissonant Whispers > [!info] Spell Details > | | | > |---|---| > | **Level** | 1st | > | **School** | [[Enchantment]] | > | **Casting Time** | 1 Action | > | **Range** | 60 feet | > | **Components** | V | > | **Duration** | Instantaneous | > | **Classes** | Bard | --- ## Description You whisper a discordant melody that only one creature of your choice within range can hear, wracking it with terrible pain. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, it takes **3d6 psychic damage** and must immediately use its reaction, if available, to move as far as its speed allows away from you. The creature doesn't move into obviously dangerous ground. On a successful save, the target takes half as much damage and doesn't need to move away. A deafened creature automatically succeeds on the save. --- ## At Higher Levels When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by **1d6** for each slot level above 1st.
