The music created by this spell draws upon the sadness, guilt, and despair of those around you. Each creature in a 60-foot cone has disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks related to hearing until the end of your next turn, and it must make an Intelligence saving throw. A creature that fails the saving throw takes 3d10 psychic damage and is poisoned until the end of its next turn, as it calls to mind memories of all its lost loves and disappointments in life.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d10 for each slot level above 3rd.
