Interminable Yarn

5th-level enchantment

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: Self (20-foot radius)

Components: V, M (a scroll, containing a prepared speech)

Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

You tell a meandering story that is so full of asides and digressions that the point of it is lost on listeners. Any creature that is deafened or can’t be charmed is immune to the effects of this spell. Creatures of your choice in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on you are compelled to stop what they are doing and listen to your story. While they are enraptured by your words, they automatically fail Intelligence (Investigation) and Wisdom (Insight and Perception) checks, and their passive scores in those skills are considered to be 0 for the duration. A creature can choose to pull away from your performance but must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or fall unconscious for 1 minute. This spell ends if you are incapacitated or can no longer speak.
