# Synaptic Static *5th-level, Enchantment* - **Casting time:** 1 Action - **Range:** 120 feet - **Components:** V, S - **Duration:** Instantaneous You cause psychic energy to erupt at a point within range. Each creature in a 20-foot-radius [Sphere](/Rules/Source/variant-rules/sphere-area-of-effect-xphb.md) centered on that point makes an Intelligence saving throw, taking `dice:8d6|noform|noparens|avg` (`8d6`) Psychic damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. On a failed save, a target also has muddled thoughts for 1 minute. During that time, it subtracts `dice:1d6|noform|noparens|avg` (`1d6`) from all its attack rolls and ability checks, as well as any Constitution saving throws to maintain [Concentration](/Rules/Source/conditions.md#Concentration). The target makes an Intelligence saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. **Classes**: [Bard](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-bard.md); [Sorcerer](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-sorcerer.md); [Warlock](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-warlock.md); [Wizard](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-wizard.md) *Source: Player's Handbook (2024) p. 330*
