Symphonic Nightmare

7th-level enchantment (Bard,Cleric,Sorcerer,Wizard)


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: Touch
  • Components: V, S, M (an exceptionally crafted small statue of an opened skull with a miniature orchestra within the cavity, which is worth at least 1,000 gp)
  • Duration: 1 week

A creature you touch loses its ability to sleep restfully for the duration of the spell. Instead of peaceful fantasies, the subject's dreams are filled with a discordant orchestra. Starting when the subject next finishes a long rest, it has disadvantage on Wisdom checks and Wisdom saving throws for the duration of the spell. In addition, until the spell ends, whenever the subject finishes a long rest, it must roll a Wisdom saving throw. If it fails, it does not gain the benefits of that long rest. The subject is immune to the dream spell while under the influence of this spell. This spell can be ended by a remove curse or greater restoration spell cast using a 7th-level or higher spell slot, in addition to being dispelled normally.
