The caster creates a very livid, realistic, but highly morphic illusion that spans a massive area, in which the caster may determine by own choice who to try and affect. Targets caught within the illusion willingly regard it as a substitute reality, i.e., believe it to be real. The illusion contains audible, olfactory, tactile, taste- and thermal effects, and the visions and sensations incurred compel the interpreting mind to feel great pain or confusion. If a target fails a will save, it is exposed to a certain effect decided by a percentile.

d% Result	Effect
1-10	Creature acts as if under the effect of insanity. No further rolls required for this creature.
11-20	Creature becomes fascinated for 1d4 rounds. Roll again after duration ends.
21-30	Creature becomes nauseated for 1d4 rounds. Roll again after duration ends.
31-50	Creature becomes dazed for 1d4 rounds. Roll again after duration ends.
51-70	Creature gets dealt 10d6 irreducible magic damage. Roll again next turn.
71-80	Creature gets dealt 2d12 temporary damage to his mental ability scores (Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma). Roll again in 1d4 rounds.
81-90	Creature gets dealt 2d12 temporary Constitution damage. Roll again in 1d4 rounds.
91-100	Creature gains 4d4 negative levels. No further rolls required for this creature.
Effects may persist even when the afflicted creatures exit the initial radius of effect. A greater restoration rids the creature of the effects on this table.

This spell delivers its damage by placing interfering currents of powerful magic in the synapses of one’s brain. Any profound external impulse, such as pain, can sever the illusion’s hold over a target’s mind. Moving a victim of the spell out of its original area of effect does not help, but successfully attacking an affected ally (even nonlethally) breaks the spell.

XP Cost: 2,000
