Invoking Time: 1 reaction, which you take in response to being damaged by a creature within range that you can see

Range: 60 feet

You focus your mind, and the creature that damaged you is sapped of its mental acuity. The creature must make an Intelligence saving throw. It takes 2d8 psychic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

At Higher Levels. If invoked at 2nd level or higher, this manifestation's damage increases by 1d8 per manifestation level above 1st.
