Unsettling Knowledge
A forbidden secret whispered into someone's mind leaves them unable to look away, then curdles into real dread.
You share a piece of hidden knowledge with a creature that is both upsetting and intriguing. When you Cast this Spell, choose Arcana, Nature, Occultism, Religion, or Society as the focus of this knowledge. The target must attempt a Will save.
Critical Success The target is unaffected.
Success The target is by the knowledge you shared for 1 round.
Failure The target is fascinated by the knowledge for 1 minute. The target can end this fascination early by attempting a skill check to Recall Knowledge to understand the knowledge using the chosen skill (using your spell DC as the DC); regardless of the result, the target becomes Frightened 2, but if they failed the check, they can't reduce their frightened condition below 1 for the remainder of the spell's duration.
Critical Failure As failure, but the target becomes Frightened 3 if they attempt to Recall Knowledge.
