Amulet of Spinecastle

Amulet of Spinecastle
Wondrous Item, Rare (requires attunement)
Aura: Moderate Enchantment

This amulet was originally created to aid in a war against a tribe of northern barbarians. While wearing the amulet, you can use an action to radiate a magical burst in a 30-foot radius sphere centered on you. Each creature of your choice in the area must make a Wisdom saving throw or be affected by the burst based on their challenge rating (or their level, if they do not have a challenge rating). An affected creature with a challenge rating of 4 or less is frightened of you for 1 minute or until it takes any damage, and must use its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can. If there’s nowhere to move, it can only use the dodge action. An affected creature with a challenge rating of 5-7 is stunned until the end of your next turn. An affected creature  with a challenge rating of 8 or higher has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks until the end of your next turn.

Once you have used this property, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.
