You unleash a string of insults laced with subtle enchantments at a creature you can see within range. If the target can hear you (though it need not understand you), it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or take 2d4 Psychic Damage and have Disadvantage on the next attack roll it makes before the end of its next turn.
During casting, the subject's eyes are momentarily filled with a blood-red mist. Observers will not notice this effect unless closely watching the eyes.
