How it works
- It lasts 2 rounds + one per three caster levels, and Extend doubles that.
- Only humanoids can be dominated by it; on anything else nothing happens at all.
- Against a player, a boss, a quest giver, a player's associate or anything unable to move it dazes instead, and for half as long.
