Abyssal Punishment

1-level Enchantment

Casting Time 1 reaction, which you take in response to being damaged by a creature within range that you can see
Range 60 feet
Duration Instantaneous
Components V, S

You point your finger, and the creature that damaged you has its mind filled with images of The Abyss. The creature must make a Wisdom saving throw. It takes 1d6 psychic damage on a failed save and suffers from short term madness (detailed on page 259 in the Dungeon Master's Guide) for 1 minute. The creature takes half as much damage on a successful save and does not suffer the madness.   At the end of each of the creature's turn, they can remake the save to end the short term madness
At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 1st.
