Frightful Breath

3rd-level evocation (sorcerer, wizard)

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: Self (30-foot cone)

Components: V, S, M (dried ectoplasm from a ghost dragon)

Duration: Instantaneous

Icy terror escapes your hands in a screaming torrent.

Each living creature in a 30-foot cone must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or take 5d10 psychic damage and be frightened for 1 minute. A creature that succeeds on its saving throw takes half as much damage and isn’t frightened. A frightened creature can make another Wisdom saving throw at the end of each of its turns. On a success, the creature is no longer frightened.

A creature killed by this spell has a 10% chance of returning as a ghost.
