Incessant Goading (auditory, emotion, incapacitation, mental) — The skull chooses one creature within 60 feet and antagonizes it mercilessly. The target must attempt a DC 22 Will save to resist the effect.
**Critical Success** The target is unaffected and is temporarily immune for 1 minute.
**Success** The target is unaffected.
