  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: 15 feet
  • Components: V, S, M (a weapon)
  • Duration: Instantaneous

You utter a primal word of command, forcing enemies to bow down while your allies better their tactical positions. Choose up to five creatures you can see within range. Each one must roll a Wisdom saving throw, taking 5d10 psychic damage on a failed save or half as much on a success. Creatures immune to being charmed have advantage on this saving throw. Each creature that fails the save also falls prone, and if it stands up from being prone before the end of your next turn, doing so provokes opportunity attacks from any creatures that have it within their reach. If at least one creature fails its saving throw, every ally of your choice with range can immediately use its reaction to move up to 15 feet.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d10 for each slot level above 5th.
