Overcharged

• An overcharged creature cannot cast or concentrate on spells.
• Every turn, the creature must use its movement to move in a random direction. To determine the direction, roll a d8 and assign a direction to each die face.
• The area within a 10 foot radius of the creature is electrically charged, and when a creature enters the area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there it takes 1d6 lightning damage. 
• When this condition ends, the creature falls unconscious for the duration of a long rest, and gains the effects of a long rest.
