Spell Description

You create a twisting pattern of colours that weaves through the air inside a 10-foot-radius sphere within range. The pattern appears for a moment and vanishes. Each creature in the area who sees the pattern must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature becomes charmed for the duration. While charmed by this spell, the creature is incapacitated and has a speed of 0. The spell ends for an affected creature if it takes any damage or if someone else uses an action to shake the creature out of its stupor.

At Higher Level. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the sphere’s radius increases by 5 feet for each slot level above 3rd.
