Mortifying Apparition

Mortifying Apparition

Tier 1 Epic illusion

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Components: V, S, M (a tooth of a person frightened to death)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute


You manifest a horrific vision in an unoccupied space you can see within range. Creatures of your choice that see the vision perceive it to be the most terrifying thing they can conceive. When a creature that is not frightened starts its turn and can see the vision, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become frightened of the vision. A creature that is immune to the frightened condition cannot be immune to this effect but attempts saving throws against it with Epic advantage.

A creature frightened by this spell must take the Dash action to move away from the vision by the fastest, most direct route unless there is nowhere to move. If the creature ends its turn in a location where it cannot see the vision, it can attempt Wisdom saving throw. On a success, the effect ends for that creature and it cannot be frightened by the spell again for its duration.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell as a tier 2 Epic spell, you can take an action on each of your turns to move the vision up to 60 feet. If you cast this spell as a tier 3 Epic spell, a creature that successfully saves against the spell to end the effect is instead able to be frightened by the spell again for its duration.
