Hypnotism

Enchantment/Charm [language-dependent, mind-affecting, sight, sonic]

• • Level Illusionist 1

  • Components V, S (M)

  • Casting Time 1 segment

  • Range 0

  • Area of Effect 30-ft. radius

  • Duration 1 round (plus 1 round per caster level if affected by suggestion)

  • Save Wisdom vs. Spell (save negates)

This spell will cause creatures affected to become fascinated and open to the caster's suggestion.

• The spell caster will select up to six creatures in the area of effect to target with the hypnotism spell.

• All creatures targeted must be able to clearly see and hear the spell caster.

• During the casting of the spell, the spell caster speaks and makes rhythmic hand gestures.

• Each creature targeted must make a Wisdom save vs. Spell or become fascinated for 1 round (save negates).

• In the subsequent round, the caster can perform a simple activity to deliver a suggestion targeting all of the fascinated creatures in the area of effect. Otherwise, the caster perform a complex activity to deliver up to six individual suggestions.

• Targets of the suggestion effect must make another Wisdom save vs. Spell or be affected as per the suggestion spell for a duration of 1 round per caster level (save negates all hypnotism spell effects on that creature). The suggestion effect is considered non-magical.

• Once the duration of the fascination effect ends, any creatures that failed their save vs. suggestion will begin to act to complete the suggestion.

• Other than the casting of spell, concentration on the part of the spell caster is not required to maintain the spell or to deliver suggestions.

Limitations

• Creatures engaged in melee when the spell is cast are immune to fascination.

• Any creature that takes damage while fascinated will be immediately released from the spell.

Material Components. A single-class illusionist can optionally use their bonded amulet as a material component to help power the spell. The caster sets the amulet spinning and if the target can see it, they suffer a -2 penalty to the spell's saving throw. The amulet is not consumed in the casting of the spell.
