Suggestion

Level 2 Enchantment spell, concentration
Range30ft
Duration

max 8h

Cast timeaction

You suggest a course of activity and magically influence a creature you choose within range that can hear and understand you.

Asking the creature to stab itself, throw itself onto a spear, immolate itself, or do some other obviously harmful act negates the effect of the spell.

The target must make a Wisdom saving throw.

On a failed save, it pursues the course of action you described to the best of its ability.

The suggested course of action can continue for the entire duration.

If the suggested activity can be completed in a shorter time, the spell ends when the subject finishes what it was asked to do.

You can also specify conditions that will trigger a special activity during the duration.

For example, you might suggest that a knight give her warhorse to the first beggar she meets.

If the condition is not met before the spell expires, the activity is not performed.

If you or any of your companions damage the target, the spell ends early.
