Cause Fear
Necromancy [Fear] [Mind-Affecting] 1 standard action SRD
Will partial - Yes Adp 1, Arc 1, Blackwater 1, Blk 1, Brd 1, Clr 1, Death 1, DrgBlw 1, Duskblade 1, HB 1, MH 1, Orc 1, Passion 1, Shu 1, Sor/Wiz 1 V, S
1d4 rounds or 1 round; see text Close General
Target: One living creature with 5 or fewer HD

One creature of 5 HD or less flees for 1d4 rounds.

The affected creature becomes frightened. If the subject succeeds on a Will save, it is shaken for 1 round. Creatures with 6 or more Hit Dice are immune to this effect.

Cause fear counters and dispels remove fear.

Charm Person
Enchantment (Charm) [Mind-Affecting] 1 standard action SRD
Will negates - Yes Beguiler 1, Brd 1, Charm 1, EmBarachiel 1, Fey 2, HB 1, MH 1, Renewal 1, Sin-L 1, Sor/Wiz 1, Wuj 1 V, S
1 hour/level Close 1 hour
Target: One humanoid creature

Makes one person your friend.

This charm makes a humanoid creature regard you as its trusted friend and ally (treat the targets attitude as friendly). If the creature is currently being threatened or attacked by you or your allies, however, it receives a +5 bonus on its saving throw.

The spell does not enable you to control the charmed person as if it were an automaton, but it perceives your words and actions in the most favorable way. You can try to give the subject orders, but you must win an opposed Charisma check to convince it to do anything it wouldn't ordinarily do. (Retries are not allowed.) An affected creature never obeys suicidal or obviously harmful orders, but it might be convinced that something very dangerous is worth doing. Any act by you or your apparent allies that threatens the charmed person breaks the spell. You must speak the person's language to communicate your commands, or else be good at pantomiming.

Detect Good
Divination 1 standard action SRD
None - No Adp 1, Arc 1, Clr 1, MH 1, Wuj 1 V, S, DF
Concentration, up to 10 min./level (D) 60 ft. General
Area: Cone-shaped emanation

Reveals creatures, spells, or objects of selected alignment.

This spell functions like detect evil, except that it detects the auras of good creatures, clerics or paladins of good deities, good spells, and good magic items, and you are vulnerable to an overwhelming good aura if you are evil. Healing potions, antidotes, and similar beneficial items are not good.

Heartache

Subject helpless for 1 round.

Protection from Good
Abjuration [Evil] 1 standard action SRD
Will negates (harmless) - No; see text Adp 1, Arc 1, Clr 1, Dem 1, Evil 1, HB 1, MH 1, Sor/Wiz 1, Wuj 1 V, S, M/DF
1 min./level (D) Touch 5 minutes
Target: Creature touched

+2 to AC and saves, counter mind control, hedge out elementals and outsiders.

This spell wards a creature from attacks by good creatures, from mental control, and from summoned creatures. It creates a magical barrier around the subject at a distance of 1 foot. The barrier moves with the subject and has three major effects.

First, the subject gains a +2 deflection bonus to AC and a +2 resistance bonus on saves. Both these bonuses apply against attacks made or effects created by good creatures.

Second, the barrier blocks any attempt to possess the warded creature (by a magic jar attack, for example) or to exercise mental control over the creature (including enchantment (charm) effects and enchantment (compulsion) effects that grant the caster ongoing control over the subject, such as dominate person). The protection does not prevent such effects from targeting the protected creature, but it suppresses the effect for the duration of the protection from chaotic effect. If the protection from good effect ends before the effect granting mental control does, the would-be controller would then be able to mentally command the controlled creature. Likewise, the barrier keeps out a possessing life force but does not expel one if it is in place before the spell is cast. This second effect works regardless of alignment.

Third, the spell prevents bodily contact by summoned creatures. This causes the natural weapon attacks of such creatures to fail and the creatures to recoil if such attacks require touching the warded creature. Evil summoned creatures are immune to this effect. The protection against contact by summoned creatures ends if the warded creature makes an attack against or tries to force the barrier against the blocked creature. Spell resistance can allow a creature to overcome this protection and touch the warded creature.

Sleep
Enchantment (Compulsion) [Mind-Affecting] 1 round SRD
Will negates - Yes Adp 1, Arc 1, Asn 1, Beguiler 1, Brd 1, Dream 1, EmBarachiel 1, HB 1, MH 1, Shu 1, Sor/Wiz 1, Wmg 1, Wuj 1 V, S, M
1 min./level Medium General
Area: One or more living creatures within a 10-ft.-radius burst

Puts 4 HD of creatures into magical slumber.

A sleep spell causes a magical slumber to come upon 4 Hit Dice of creatures. Creatures with the fewest HD are affected first.

Among creatures with equal HD, those who are closest to the spells point of origin are affected first. Hit Dice that are not sufficient to affect a creature are wasted.

Sleeping creatures are helpless. Slapping or wounding awakens an affected creature, but normal noise does not. Awakening a creature is a standard action (an application of the aid another action).

Sleep does not target unconscious creatures, constructs, or undead creatures.
