Cast a Spell that deals damage in an area, any target who fails their saving throw is also

Traits
Archetype: This feat belongs to an archetype.
Concentrate: An action with this trait requires a degree of mental concentration and discipline.
Emotion: This effect alters a creature’s emotions. Effects with this trait always have the mental trait as well. Creatures with special training or that have mechanical or artificial intelligence are immune to emotion effects.
Mental: A mental effect can alter the target’s mind. It has no effect on an object or a mindless creature.
Spellshape: Actions with the spellshape trait tweak the properties of your spells. You must use a spellshape action directly before casting the spell you want to alter. If you use any action (including free actions and reactions) other than casting a spell directly after, you waste the benefits of the spellshape action. The benefit is also lost if your turn ends before you cast the spell. Any additional effects added by a spellshape action are part of the spell's effect, not of the spellshape action itself.
