Good news, it was only Power Word Pain so. That was nice.

I would not give an NPC a spell like that so I suggest this:
Power Word Incapacitating Tickles
You utter a word of power that can compel one creature you can hear within range to fall over squirming and laughing, begging you to stop the imaginary tickles until you choose to end it's effect. If the target has less than 100 hit points it takes effect, otherwise the target enjoys the sensation that feels like tummy rubs and is charmed for one round.
When they put you against someone using it in Baldur's gate 3 the make it a three turn ritual, so you just need to break the caster's focus and you get a few goes at it
A word that takes 18 seconds to say must be impressive. No wonder it's a 9th level spell. By the way which character has power word kill in bg3? I beat the game without encountering anyone with that spell.
I don't recall which encounter it was, either late act 2 or early act 3, probably underground
