Spell Description

Choose a creature with whom you are familiar and have met before. Make a magic attack against that creature’s LOG. If the creature is awake, the invocation automatically fails. If the creature is asleep, then modify your magic attack based on your level of familiarity with the creature:

You have met once: Roll 2d20 and take the lower.
You have met a few times: Make the roll unmodified.
You frequently interact with, or have spent at least a week studying this person: Roll 2d20 and take the higher.

On a hit, you haunt the creature’s subconscious psyche. Until the creature removes this curse using magic akin to Greater Restoration or similar magic, it suffers the following effects:

It suffers the Shaken condition.
It occasionally sees illusory creatures moving in shadows.
Each time it Takes a Rest, it gains a randomly determined Phobia (roll on the Phobia table) for 24 hours.

You can only have this invocation active on one creature at a time. If you cast this invocation on a new target, its effects end on the previous target.
