Moan produces the sound of a creature or person uttering a long, low sound of suffering and lament. The moan is painful to hear and unsettling, particularly indoors and at night, when the listener's imagination turns to ideas of spirits and ghosts.

Range 30 ft.
Duration 1 round; see text
Area of Effect 10 ft. circle

If the sound is heard at night, solitary persons must make a saving throw against magic or feel compelled to move away, to a place at least 120 ft. distant from where the sound was heard.

When heard by groups underground, the cantrip lowers their morale by 1 point for a period of half an hour, increasing their likelihood to break if pressed in combat.
