You warp a creature’s senses, forcing it to hallucinate vividly. The target creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, it perceives all living or dead creatures as terrifying ghoulish, phantom-like versions of that creature.   Whenever the target creature starts its turn with a phantom creature in sight, it becomes frightened until the end of its next turn.   If the creature ends its turn in a space where it cannot see any living or dead creature, it can repeat its saving throw against the spell, ending its effects on a success. A creature with truesight, or a creature immune to curses is unaffected by this spell.
