Dissonant Chant

2nd-level abjuration (Bard,Cleric)


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: 120 feet
  • Components: V, S
  • Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

You create discordant whispers that fill a 20-foot radius within range. The whispers start at a low volume, but quickly rise to a crescendo of blaring and confusing voices that distract all creatures in the area. Any spellcaster that attempts to cast a spell within the area must make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC, or the spell fails. Likewise, a spellcaster in the affected area that is concentrating on a spell at the start of its turn must make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC, or lose concentration on the spell. In addition, any creature within the area has advantage on saving throws against spells that depend upon language, such as charm person.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the radius of the effect increases by 10 feet for every slot level above 2nd.
