A column of magical fire and light descends on your enemy, then spreads out to not only burn other foes physically, but burn away their ties to the ally you targeted. Make a ranged spell attack against one creature within range. On a hit, the target takes 3d8 radiant damage. Whether the attack hits or misses, a column of psychic fire consumes it and the creatures around it. Each creature of your choice in a 10-foot-radius, 40- foot-high cylinder centered on the target (including the target) must make a Wisdom saving throw. A creature takes 2d6 fire damage and 2d6 psychic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. In addition, each creature besides the target who fails the Wisdom saving throw becomes indifferent towards the target and forgets the target ever existed, as if its memories were altered by a modify memory spell. This effect lasts for 1 minute. During that time, the creatures take no action to cooperate with the target and make no special effort to keep it from harm. If it is in a position of authority, affected creatures do not obey its orders. When the effect ends, all affected creatures regain their normal memories.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the psychic damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 5th.
