Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level
Target/Area/Effect: 1 creature
Duration: 1 minute
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: Yes
You cause one creature to commit an act, typically one which is against its alignment. You must specify the temptation that the target is faced with (limited to a sentence or two) and it must be possible for the target to commit the temptation within one minute of the spells casting. Tempting the target to do an action which is obviously harmful to itself negates the effect of the spell. Target creatures which fail to save against the spell commit the indicated temptation without regard for ethics, morals, or friendship. Lying, cheating, theft, murder, admission of guilt, admonishment, being charitable, or being benevolent are all viable temptations.
Targets that fail to resist this spell become susceptible to later invocations of this spell, suffering a -1 penalty to later attempts to resist the spell for that same temptation. This penalty is cumulative for each instance of temptation that the target fails to save against. Only a remove curse or atonement will remove this penalty. Once a targets penalty equals any bonus they may have to their will save it is no longer necessary to cast this spell, the target creature will commit the act of its own volition when presented with reasonable opportunity to avoid incrimination.
Focus: An item of personal value to the target creature or an item representative of the temptation you wish to inflict.
