Death Dirge

You create a terrifying song of death that emanates from a point you choose within range. It lasts for the duration unless ended early with a silence spell, and it is a loud, ominous noise that obstructs hearing. Creatures within the spell’s 20-foot-radius area are effectively deafened until the spell ends or they leave the area.
When a creature enters the spell’s area for the first time or starts its turn there, that creature must make a Wisdom saving throw. The creature takes 5d6 psychic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Creatures are affected even if they cover their ears or are deaf.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 5th.
