Additionally, the target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be **blinded** until the spell ends. A creature blinded by this spell makes another Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns. On a successful save, it is no longer blinded. --- ## At Higher Levels This spell does not have an upcast effect.
