Recall Memory
As an action, you stare into the eyes of a creature within 30 feet of you and force it to recall a memory from its past. The creature must make a DC 13 charisma saving throw or become momentarily Blinded and Deafened as it suffers from one of the effects described below. A creature with intelligence 3 or lower, who cannot see you, or who lacks eyes is immune to this effect.

• Mire. The creature recalls a memory from its past, filling it with sadness. The creature is Stunned as it weeps uncontrollably. This effect ends at the end of your next turn.

• Mirth. The creature recalls a memory from its past, filling it with joy. The creature is Charmed by you for the next minute or until you or your companions do anything harmful to it.

This effect ends at the end of your next turn. You are not able to control what the creature recalls, but may be able to influence its memory by naturally shaping the course of its thoughts beforehand. The memory the creature recalls is brief, containing less than a minute of content.
