(OOC: This is an implementation of the Dancing Decoy spell from Tasha's Crucible of Everything Else volume 1)

Dancing Decoy
Level	Casting time	Range/Area	Components
3rd	1 Action	60 feet	V, S, M *
Duration	School	Attack/Save	Damage/Effect
1 minute	Enchantment	INT Save	Control

You toss a clockwork puppet to an unoccupied space that you can see within range. When you cast this spell, you can designate any number of creatures you can see to be unaffected by it, seeing the object for what it really is. To others, the decoy projects the illusion of a medium humanoid of your choice that performs a taunting dance or an intimidating gesture goading them to fight it. As a bonus action on your turn, you can mentally command the puppet and the illusion to move up to 20 feet.

Creatures that start their turn within 10 feet of the puppet must make an Intelligence saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is compelled to move toward the decoy and make a melee weapon attack against it, believing it to be the primary threat. Attacks against the illusion harmlessly flow through the illusion and do not usually damage the puppet, though exceptions can occur. On a successful save, a creature realizes that the projected humanoid is an illusion and becomes immune to the effects of this spell for 24 hours. Creatures that are immune to the charmed condition automatically succeed on this save. The effect on a creature also ends if it takes any damage.

* (a tiny clockwork puppet worth at least 50 gp)

Available for:

Artificer
Bard
Warlock
Wizard

Each creature in a 40-foot cone in a direction you choose must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 5d6 radiant damage and is stunned until the end of its next turn by the incomprehensible glories that it sees.
