You create a cloud of spores that infect the brain of a creature you can see within range. The target must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 4d6 psychic damage, and it has disadvantage on Intelligence ability checks and saving throws until the end of its next turn. On a successful save, the target doesn't take damage or have disadvantage on Intelligence ability checks and saving throws. You can use an action on each of your turns for the duration to force the target to make another Constitution saving throw or suffer the spell's damage and effects.

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.
