Thought Harvest

3rd-level divination (Sorcerer,Wizard)


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: 30 feet
  • Components: V, S, M (a piercing weapon)
  • Duration: Instantaneous

You pierce the mental defenses of one creature you can see within range. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw, taking 5d6 psychic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Also on a failed save, the target cannot take reactions or the disengage action until the end of your next turn, and it suffers disadvantage on the next attack roll or saving throw it makes before the end of your next turn. Finally, when a target fails its saving throw against this spell, you instantly know its surface thoughts, what is most on its mind in that moment.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the psychic damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 3rd.
