Description
Choose up to three creatures you can see within range. Each makes a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, a target is charmed by you for the duration, but the condition ends if you or an ally damages it. Affected creatures can repeat the save at the end of each turn, ending the charm on a success. This spell does not command actions, force intimacy, compel confessions, or alter permanent relationships.
At Higher Levels. Choose one additional creature per slot above 4th.
Velvet Court Devotion. Eshthara. Eshthara’s trance and hypnosis traditions value guided attention and the freedom to awaken. Combat charm never constitutes romantic consent or control of another’s private desires.
Devotional Rite. A willing creature may choose to fail the spell’s initial saving throw as part of a noncombat guided-trance rite. While so affected, it may end the charmed condition on itself at any time without an action, and once during this casting it may voluntarily gain 1 Arousal to have advantage on a Wisdom (Insight) check made to understand the caster’s voluntarily offered guidance. The spell still cannot compel a confession or intimate act.
- Veiled Effects. A creature that succeeds on the initial save knows only that an attempt at enchantment occurred, not its purpose or your identity if otherwise concealed.
- Unveiled Effects. Once per casting when a target fails its initial saving throw against this spell, you may gain 1 Arousal; if you do, choose one affected creature to have disadvantage on its first Wisdom (Insight) check to identify your immediate deception before the end of its next turn. Alternatively, spend 1 Libido to extend range to 120 feet. Choose one option.
