Going in Circles

3rd-level illusion

Casting Time:10 minutes
Range:Sight
Components:V, S, M (a piece of the target terrain)
Duration:24 hours

You make natural terrain in a 1-mile cube difficult to traverse. A creature in the affected area has disadvantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks to follow tracks or travel safely through the area as paths through the terrain seem to twist and turn nonsensically. The terrain itself isn’t changed, only the perception of those inside it. A creature who succeeds on two Wisdom (Survival) checks while within the terrain discerns the illusion for what it is and sees the illusory twists and turns superimposed on the terrain. A creature that reenters the area after exiting it before the spell ends is affected by the spell even if it previously succeeded in traversing the terrain.

A creature that casts find the path automatically succeeds in discovering a way out of the terrain. When you cast this spell, you can designate a password. A creature that speaks the password as it enters the area automatically sees the illusion and is unaffected by the spell.

If you cast this spell on the same spot every day for one year, the illusion lasts until it is dispelled.
