When you cast this spell, and at the start of each turn, you must succeed on a Charisma saving throw against your own spell save DC + the number rolled on the die, or the demon takes control over your body until the end of that turn. While you are possessed, you become hostile to any creature originally friendly to you and will do everything in your capacity to reach and damage that creature. If there's no friendly creature within reach, you will attack the closest creature instead.
