Spell: Missed Cue

You make the spell's target believe they had something incredibly important to say but forgot to say it, and now they've missed their opportunity. Sensations of overwhelming panic akin to stage fright flood the target's mind, causing them to suffer excruciating mental anguish and take 12d6 mental damage. The target might even become filled with the conviction that they've doomed themselves by missing their cue. The target must attempt a Will save.
