Zip it (Arcane Domain)

3rd ring Arcane, Transmutation

Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when a creature within range vocalises

Range/Area: 60 ft

Components: V, S

Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

Attack/Save: Constitution save

Damage/Effect: In response to a creature vocalizing, you make a sharp sound and hold a finger up in an attempt to interrupt them.

In response to a creature vocalizing, you make a sharp sound and hold a finger up in an attempt to interrupt them. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or become silenced as its mouth is fused shut for the duration. If you silence a target that is casting a spell with verbal components, the target’s spell slot isn’t expended, but its action is wasted.

At the end of each of its turns, the target can make a Strength saving throw as it tries to tear open its mouth. On a success, the target takes 1d8 slashing damage and is no longer silenced. Alternatively, as an action, the target can use a bladed implement to cut open its mouth, taking 1d8 slashing damage and ending the silence.

In higher rings: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 3rd.
