Barbed Mind

4th-level abjuration (ritual)

Casting Time:10 Minute

Range:Self

Component: V, S, M

Duration:1 hour

After taking time in a meditative state, you place a magical trap within your mind that wounds those that attempt to read your mind. When a creature attempts to read your thoughts (e.g., using detect thoughts, scrying, etc.) or attempts to cast an enchantment spell that target’s you, they must make an Intelligence saving throw.

On a failed save, they take 4d8 psychic damage; they take half damage on a successful save. If a creature attempts to communicate with you telepathically, they become aware your mind is protected and can choose to avoid communicating with you. If they continue, they must make a Intelligence saving throw throw as above and suffer the consequences.
