Evelyn's Engaging Enigma

1st-level enchantment

When you cast Evelyn's Engaging Enigma, you or a willing creature you touch become mentally engaged with a series of puzzles. The spell creates an invisible, intellectual challenge that manifests in the mind of the target. The nature of the puzzles can vary, including logic games like sudoku, spatial challenges like tetris, or other mentally stimulating exercises.

The spell intuitively adjusts the complexity and type of the puzzles to match the mental preferences and abilities of the subject, ensuring they are appropriately challenging but not overly frustrating. The puzzles appear in the subject's mind, allowing them to work on solving them without the need for physical materials.

The subject can voluntarily pause and resume the puzzles at any time within the spell's duration, making it ideal for long journeys or waiting periods. The spell provides a mentally engaging and entertaining way to pass time and can also serve as a brain-training exercise.

At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the duration of the spell extends by 1 hour for each slot level above 1st.
