# Fear *3rd-level, Illusion* - **Casting time:** 1 Action - **Range:** Self (30-foot Cone) - **Components:** V, S, M (a white feather) - **Duration:** Concentration, up to 1 minute Each creature in a 30-foot [Cone](Mechanics/CLI/rules/variant-rules/cone-area-of-effect-xphb.md) must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or drop whatever it is holding and have the [Frightened](Mechanics/CLI/rules/conditions.md#Frightened) condition for the duration. A [Frightened](Mechanics/CLI/rules/conditions.md#Frightened) creature takes the [Dash](Mechanics/CLI/rules/actions.md#Dash) action and moves away from you by the safest route on each of its turns unless there is nowhere to move. If the creature ends its turn in a space where it doesn't have line of sight to you, the creature makes a Wisdom saving throw. On a successful save, the spell ends on that creature. **Classes**: [Ranger (Gloom Stalker)](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-gloom-stalker-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Bard](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-bard.md); [Sorcerer](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-sorcerer.md); [Fighter (Eldritch Knight)](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-eldritch-knight-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Wizard (Illusionist)](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-illusionist-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Wizard](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-wizard.md); [Sorcerer (Draconic Sorcery)](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-draconic-sorcery-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Warlock](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-warlock.md); [Rogue (Arcane Trickster)](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-arcane-trickster-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Bard (College of Lore)](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-college-of-lore-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB") *Source: Player's Handbook (2024) p. 271.
