Effect If your next action is to Cast a Spell that has the linguistic trait and that targets 1 creature, you're overtaken by Juubun's spirit, and the spoken elements of your spell become impressively poetic. If the target is an ally, your words inspire them and they gain 10 temporary Hit Points that last for 1 minute. If the targeted creature is an enemy and the spell requires a saving throw, and if the enemy fails its saving throw, they become Sickened 1 as a result of despair and sadness.
