Description

You cry out the flamboyant phrases of this spell, proudly and skillfully, as you preen before your soon to be victims.

You compel the targets you choose as above to look at you and only you, no matter how they are currently standing, their eyes rolling in their sockets against their will, their bodies contorting to snap their gaze onto you. All target creatures to whom you have line of sight and are in range as defined above suffer (Circle 1 damage): 1d6 points of damage per character level (max 4d6 at character level 4) of rugosic (physical, uncommon) damage, as their eyes try to tear themselves out of the sockets to gaze only at you. Victims are allowed a saving throw as above to take half damage, but they look only at you, regardless.

While staring at you (from the time the spell is cast until their next action), the target is considered to be averting its eyes from every creature but you, granting all creatures other than you partial concealment. Blind creatures and creatures immune to gaze attacks are immune to this spell.
