Yeah, I've never played 5e so I'm not that familiar with the spell. (Most of my TT experience is DnD 3.5 and Pathfinder 1.0.) It does seem mostly a waste of time, though a 2nd level spell that can turn an enemy on his buddies (instead of simply neutralizing him ala Charm or Hold Person) sounds cool in theory. It also fit thematically with my "Great Old One" warlock. Sadly, it seems I'll have to take a different approach.
