The Reading Comprehension Curse was born from the inadequacy that people feel when they are unable to read something properly, as well as the frustration that people feel when they have to watch others read things incorrectly. These feelings of torture festered and grew, affecting many people, turning this beast into what it is. Domain Expansion: World Without KnowledgeThe area inside the Domain is filled with ever-shifting walls of written symbols, floating incomprehensible text, and layers of false information. The writing constantly changes and morphs, overwhelming the senses of anyone caught within it. Creatures who begin their turn inside the domain must make a DC 27 Intelligence saving throw. On a failure, they take 97 (15d12) Psychic damage, become Confused, and lose the ability to read or understand any language for 1 minute. On a success, they take half damage, are not Confused, and can still read and understand languages. Once they are no longer inside of the Domain, creatures may make an Intelligence saving throw at the beginning of each of their turns to end the effects. This saving throw and effects caused by it are the sure-hit effect of this domain. The terrain inside the Domain is a twisting maze of unreadable symbols, paragraphs of shifting text, and warped writing. Any creature trying to move within the Domain must make a DC 27 Intelligence check before using their movement. On a failure, the creature’s movement is halved, and it must use the rest of its movement in a random direction. Words of Control (1/Turn). During its turn, the Reading Comprehension Curse can select one creature within the domain and force it to make a DC 27 Intelligence saving throw. On a failure, it becomes charmed by the spirit for 1 minute. The charmed creature will believe any command or false information the Cursed Spirit provides, potentially turning against allies or acting irrationally. This charmed condition ends early if damage is dealt to the target.

If the Reading Comprehension Curse were reduced to 0 hit points, they can choose to drop to 1 hit point instead and are considered stable, even against effects or features that would normally kill them outright. This feature does not work if the damage that had reduced them to 0 hit points was radiant damage. Famous Name.
