This just came up in the Vecna fight, so I'm curious on people's thoughts.
Here is the spell text for the portion of the symbol spell.
Hopelessness: Each target must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, the target is overwhelmed with despair for 1 minute. During this time, it can't Attack or target any creature with harmful Abilities, Spells, or other magical Effects.
So its clear as a bell that I couldn't cast like a dominate person or something. But can I still use an area damage spell like a fireball?
