Drawing on the deepest fears of a group of creatures, you create illusory creatures in their minds, visible only to them. Each creature in a 30-foot-radius sphere centered on a point of your choice within range must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, a creature becomes frightened for the duration. The illusion calls on the creature's deepest fears, manifesting its worst nightmares as an implacable threat. At the end of each of the frightened creature's turns, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or take 4d10 psychic damage. On a successful save, the spell ends for that creature.

The SendingStone review

Weird is a powerful spell that can only be cast by wizards at level 9. It deals a significant amount of psychic damage, making it an effective choice against enemies that have high physical defenses or are immune to other types of damage. The spell has a casting time of one action and requires verbal and somatic components, meaning the wizard must be able to speak and move their hands to cast it. The duration of the spell can last up to one minute, but it does require concentration to maintain.

Overall, Weird is a useful spell for wizards who want to add an extra punch to their offensive capabilities. However, it is not without drawbacks. The spell's high level requirement means that it can only be used by experienced wizards, and its cost in terms of concentration means that it may not be the best choice for every situation. Nonetheless, for those who can wield it effectively, Weird is a valuable addition to their spellbook.
