Dark strings connect your shadow to the very soul of your opponent
Target one creature within range. On a successful save the target is stunned for one round. On a failed charisma save, the target becomes immobile, unable to act or speak on its own. For the duration of the spell, the target acts how you wish, requiring at least one open hand to manipulate the target. Any action or movement the target takes requires you to sacrifice that same action or movement. The target says whatever you say, though you may have the target speak at a different volume than you.
If you use your action to have the target make a weapon attack the attack uses their full attack bonus. You cannot cause a target to use a spell unless you know the same spell.
If the target takes damage it receives another charisma saving throw. On a success it breaks free from the spell and is stunned for one round. On a failure the spell continues.
If anyone views either you or the target with true sight they see faint black strings connecting your outstretched fingers to the target.
If you have mastery of the Heart and Soul path, the Save DC is increased by 2.
