Earworm
Enchantment cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action Range: 30 feet Components: V or S Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
You implant a short, irritating tune in the mind of one creature you can see within range. As part of casting this spell, you must audibly perform the tune you wish to implant, such as by whistling, humming, singing, or playing it on a musical instrument with which you are proficient.
The target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is distracted by the persistent melody for the duration. While distracted in this way, the creature has disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks.
If the spell ends because its duration expires or the caster ends it willingly, the tune lingers in the minds of both the caster and the creature for the next 24 hours, during which time they occasionally and involuntarily recall the melody. This lingering effect is annoying, but has no mechanical impact.
On a successful saving throw, the creature is immune to this spell for 24 hours.
Ezrin's Notes
The bard who passed me this spell also gleefully shared their method for avoiding the side-effect: ask a friend to hit you until you lose concentration. This seemed excessive until I tried the spell myself.
