When this spell is cast, the wizard can create a single emotional reaction in the subject creatures. The following are typical:

Courage: This emotion causes the creatures affected to become berserk, fighting with a + 1 bonus to the attack dice, causing + 3 points of damage, and temporarily gaining 5 hit points. The recipients fight without shield, and regardless of life, never checking morale. This spell counters (and is countered by) fear.

Fear: The affected creatures flee in panic for 2d4 rounds. A succesful saving throw can be made, but only at a -2 penalty. It counters (and is countered by) courage.

Hope: The effect of hope is to raise morale, saving throw rolls, attack rolls, and damage caused by +2. It counters (and is countered by) hopelessness.

Hopelessness: The affected creatures submit to the demands of any opponent: surrender, get out, etc. Otherwise, the creatures are 25% likely to do nothing in a round, and 25% likely to turn back or retreat. It counters (and is countered by) hope.

Pacify: This spell creates the emotion of calmness within the area of effect. All creatures affected by the spell suffer a -2 penalty to Strength and Constitution, a -1 penalty to saving throws against spells, and a +1 bonus to AC. It counters (and is countered by) rage.

Rage: This spell creates the emotion of rage within the area of effect. All creatures affected by the spell gain +2 to Strength and Constitution, a +1 bonus to saving throws against spells, and a -1 penalty to AC. It counters (and is countered by) pacify.
