The caster chooses a psychic poison for which the caster meets the minimum level requirement. A creature that uses qualifying mind-affecting or divination magic on the protected target, or within the protected area, becomes subject to that psychic poison.

Using Psychic Poison

The spell functions as magical counter-surveillance. It does not block divination outright; instead it makes probing the warded subject or location dangerous.

Arcane Material Component

A small piece of humanoid brain tissue.
