Promise

5-level Enchantment

Casting Time: 1 minute

Range/Area: Touch

Components: V, S, M

Materials: (a piece of vellum paper made from a stillborn calve worth 50 gp)

Duration: 30 days

You forge a magical bond between yourself and a willing creature you touch, creating a mystical pact that ensures the fulfillment of a promise. The nature of the promise must be mutually agreed upon by both the caster and the target. This promise should be clear and specific, encompassing a single action or a series of related actions. These promises are magically inscribed on to the vellum paper. When the promise is made, both the caster and the target take an equal share of the responsibility for its fulfillment. If either party directly acts counter the promise, they take 10d10 psychic damage, while the other party takes 5d10, but no more than once each day. The damage cannot be reduced or avoided by any means, including magical resistance. The Promise spell persists until one of the following conditions is met:

The agreed-upon task or conditions have been fulfilled.

The spell is dispelled by a caster using Wish or a similar effect.

The caster or the target dies.

If the piece of vellum paper is destroyed before the spell is ended, both caster and the target dies.

At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th or 8th level, the duration is 1 year. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 9th level, the spell lasts until it is ended until the promise is fullfilled. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 8th level or higher, the damage for acting counter to the promise is increases by 1d10 for each slot level above 7th.
