TextThe air fills with a melancholic tune, otherworldly and disheartening, emanating from a point of your choice within range. Each creature in a 20-foot-radius centered on that point that hears the melody must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, an affected target becomes frightened for the duration and takes 1d6 psychic damage every round. At the end of each of its turns, the target can make another Wisdom saving throw. On a success, the spell ends on the target. On a successful save that creature is unaffected and is immune to the effects of the spell for 24 hours. At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the radius of the emenation increases by 10 feet for each slot level above 4th. Frightened: • A frightened creature has disadvantage on ability checks and attack rolls while the source of its fear is within line of sight. • The creature can't willingly move closer to the source of its fear.
