Confusion
Affected creatures either wander randomly, attack a random target, or simply stand still.

| Components | Verbal and somatic |
| Can be aimed at | a creature, a spot on the ground, an item or a placeable |
| Area of effect | 5 metre radius |

| Concentration | Damage can interrupt the casting |
| Descriptor | Mind-Affecting |
| Duration | 1 round (6 seconds) per caster level. Extend doubles it. |
| Additional Counter Spells | Clarity |
| Save | Will Negates |

| Metamagic allowed | Extend, Quicken (Wizard or Sorcerer; Bard with Automatic Quicken Spell I), Silent, Still. The Automatic feats need level 9 spells, so a Bard takes them only with a second class that casts them |
How it works
- A Will save against mind-affecting magic avoids it.
- It reaches everyone within 5 metres, whether or not you can see them.
