Concentration, up to 1 minute

For the briefest moment, you open a portal to an eldritch dimension in a 10-foot-radius Sphere centered on a point you can see within range. Each creature within the Sphere makes a Wisdom saving throw as it beholds the nightmarish dimension. On a failed save, a creature takes 6d6 Psychic damage and has the Frightened condition for the duration. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage only.

A creature Frightened by this spell makes another Wisdom saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot

The damage increases by 1d6 for each spell slot level above 3.
