Serpents’ Stare

2nd-level enchantment

Casting time: 1 action

Range: 30 feet

Components: V, S, M (a shiny bauble such as a coin, gem or piece of glass)

Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

You fix the spell’s target with a deep, fearful stare. If the target fails a Wisdom saving throw it becomes paralyzed as long as you maintain concentration and eye contact. While maintaining eye contact with the target you have disadvantage on attacks that don’t target the victim of the spell. Anyone that attacks you has advantage on their attack. If you break concentration or eye contact for any reason, the spell ends immediately. The victim can use an action to repeat the Wisdom saving throw, ending this effect on a successful save.
