Description¶
This spell transports the caster to any place within the visual range of the caster. When the spell is cast, a dimensional portal opens up in front of the caster, who immediately steps through it. Upon passing through the portal, the caster finds him- or herself at their chosen destination.
Emotion: Hopelessness (Enchantment/Charm) Range: Visual range of the caster Duration: 2 rounds + 1 round/level Casting Time: 4 Area of Effect: Up to 60-foot cube Saving Throw: Special When this spell is cast the wizard can disturb the emotional state of those around them. The effect of this is to inflict a feeling of hopelessness upon the enemies within visual sight of the caster. Upon a failed save vs. spell, the affected will lie down where they stand and give over all their will to a higher power. Sometimes they can be heard to exclaim things such as "I lay down and die", or "I'm going home". This will last for the duration of the spell, after which time they will return to normal.
The secondary effect of this spell is to instill upon the caster the feeling of courage. This will remove any effects of panic and restore their morale, as well as prevent the above from creeping into their psyche. There is no save vs. this and it will last for the duration of the spell. It will, however, be affected by Magic Resistance and other such things.
