Duration: 1 rd. + 1 rd./level
Casting Time: 1 segment
Area of Effect: 30 ft. cube
Saving Throw: Negates
The gestures of the magic-user, along with his droning incantation, cause
1d6 creatures within the area to become susceptible to a suggestion - a brief
and reasonable-sounding request (see the 3rd level magic-user Suggestion
spell. The request must be given after the Hypnotism spell is cast. Until that
time, the success of the spell is unknown. Note that the subsequent suggestion
is not a spell, but simply a vocalized urging (the caster must speak a language
the creature understands for this spell to work).
Creatures that successfully roll their saving throws are not under hypnotic
influence. Those who are exceptionally wary or hostile save with +1 to +3
bonuses. If the spell is cast at an individual creature that meets the caster's gaze,
the saving throw is made with a penalty of -2. A creature that fails its saving
throw does not remember that the caster hypnotized it.
