Kiss of Dagon

2nd-level conjuration

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: 120 feet

Components: V, S, M (a fish scale)

Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

This spell causes beasts with a swim speed in the surrounding region to gain an overwhelming desire to eat a target creature you can see within range. Creatures with challenge rating of 1/2 or higher must perceive the target from within 120 feet to be affected. Domesticated beasts as well as creatures with challenge rating 1/2 or higher are only compelled by a casting of this spell if they fail on a Charisma saving throw.

At the start of the target’s turn each round, swarms of small fish and sea life bite at the creature as long as it is in or near water, dealing 2d6 piercing damage each round at the start of its turn. If there is a high concentration of small creatures (such as from a reef), the target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw when it takes this damage or have disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks until the start of its next turn. If the target is within 10 feet of the water, sea life leap and climb from the water to continue the attack.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, it deals an additional 1d6 damage for each slot level above 2nd.
