Symptoms include periodic distraction, loss of ability to control oneself, and finally, gibbering madness. It is particularly effective on other spellcasters. |

| ⚫ | You quickly launch into the main verse of your terrifying Chorus, your mouth pouring forth words laced with the false promises of wisdom. As you smile with the pride and grace of a virtuoso exulting in her glorious performance, your magic twists every twitch of your tongue, unbalancing each phrase to disrupt its seeming clarity into crazed oblivion! |

You continue with pitch perfect intonation, letting the magic warp it into dementation towards all who might oppose you.

With a slight smile of satisfaction, you close your song with a last, solitary word. |
