Doesn't work on Hag (act 3 -- trying not to spoil). Tried for half an hour for it to actually hit her while the caster had 18 int and it didn't successfully hit the Hag a single time.

Coming from Pathfinder, such a disappointing Spell, was excited when I first saw the name. Really prefer the fail 2 STs and instantly die version, this seems very meh.

I had a strange situation where I cast this spell on an enemy who failed the save. No damage dealt. When it got around to that enemy's next turn, they succeeded their save, Gale lost concentration on the spell, and it ended. However, at no point was any damage dealt by the spell. The enemy was not resistant to psychic damage. Anyone else have a similar issue?

had a scroll of one of these drop in the malus thorm fight off of one of the bookshelves. not sure if its randomized loot from containers though.
Why can't Bards get this through Magical Secrets?
