Description
You attempt to beguile a Humanoid that you can see within range. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or have the Charmed condition for the duration. The target has Advantage on the saving throw if you or your companions are fighting it. While the target is Charmed, you have a telepathic link with it as long as the two of you are on the same plane of existence. You can use this telepathic link to issue commands to the creature while you are conscious (no action required), which it does its best to obey. Each time the target takes damage, it makes a new Wisdom saving throw against the spell. If the saving throw succeeds, the spell ends.
