How to learn

Used by creatures: Viconia DeVir

Notes

• Cast by Viconia DeVir after using Castigate Heartform on a character who professed to fearing "Betrayal" during the Mapping of the Heart
• The spell targets one of the party members who did not undergo the mapping of the heart. On a failed save, they are  Dominated. If the character who underwent the mapping is within 18 m / 60 ft of that party member, then they make the same save or become  Frightened.
• This spell inflicts a special version of Dominated with a StackPriority of 2. This means that it overwrites any existing Dominated conditions.
• The target who makes a save against being Dominated still benefits from effects which grant advantage or disadvantage on saving throws against being Frightened, such as  Countercharm.
