My Opinion on this Description
It’s interesting, and I love the spell in so many ways. Is Enemies Abund good? It’s excellent, I think. It’s kind of reminiscent of the level to spell crown of madness. This is compatible with action economy. Don’t really need to constantly keep feeding the spell resources to keep it active. You can use intelligence save depending on the hitter you choose. Many heavy hitters have low intelligence scores. Many beasts are also very intelligent. This is a great way to use it. This applies to spells as well. Oh my god! I love the idea of tricking a wizard with a limited-charge magical object to increase their spending power. It’s amazing! Let me tell you that being said, let’s take a quick moment here and check out some alternative uses.
There are other uses
I believe that the most effective person to use is anyone with influence like kings, queens, or mob bosses. This is very useful. It works well with divination magicks lucky dice. I forget the exact feature name right now but that’s where they roll the dice at the beginning of everyday and they can actually use those rolls as they see fit. This is a great method to make sure that the wizard of Bombs makes an intelligence saving and may use a high level fireball to attack their perceived enemies.
Another thing i would like to point out really quick here is that there’s nothing in the spell that says id the creature feels like it is an imminent peril the spell fails. This could lead to suicide. You can’t trick a knight to attack a king, knowing fullwell that he will be executed.
So, it’s a really interesting spell. It is a magical spell. It can also be used to indicate an action plan. If you see the king running riot, you can use it to signal that you want to rush the Treasury. It works in balance, encounters, so there’s no need to be worried.
