Each creature in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on that point must make an Intelligence saving throw. A creature with an Intelligence score of 2 or lower can't be affected by this spell. A target takes **8d6 psychic damage** on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one. On a failed save, the target also has muddled thoughts for 1 minute. During that time, it rolls a **d6 and subtracts the number rolled** from all its attack rolls and ability checks, as well as its Constitution saving throws to maintain concentration. The target can make an Intelligence saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. --- ## At Higher Levels This spell does not have an upcast effect.
