Description

Your gestures and droning incantation creates a hypnotic effect on nearby creatures you choose, causing them to check and continually re-start their actions. Only creatures that can see or hear you (line of sight or line of effect, but not both) are affected. Victims do not need to understand you to be affected.
Creatures affected suffer (Circle 1 damage): 1d6 points of damage per character level (max 4d6 at character level 4) of psychic (energy, uncommon) damage and are Distracted, as the hypnotic magic pulls at their mind in a most harmful manner. A saving throw as laid out above reduces the damage by half, although the distracted condition remains.
