Ability Description

You unleash a string of magic, or nonmagic, words laced with venom that can harm a creature in ways not thought possible.

If the target can hear you (even if they can't understand you), they must make a Will Saving throw. Alternatively, you unleash the string of words as an insult, rolling a charisma based skill check (with any skill you have) vs the target's AC. Uniquely, this spell ignores damage immunities.

If they fail, or if the attack hits; the target takes 1d4 Psychic damage↗ and has disadvantage on the next d20 roll they make before the end of their next turn. If they critically fail, or if the attack critically succeeds, they take 3 times the damage (base 3d4 ) instead of the usual double damage.

Augmentation + other notes

↗/Augmented by Level: This spell's damage increases by 1d4 when you reach 5th level (2d4), 11th level (3d4), and 17th level (4d4).
