Legend (V7)
Legend (Neutral School (V7))
Contents
Incantation
State "Legend," followed by a short poem of 20+ words, and end with "Legended"
Range
20 ft.
Effect
The caster and victim move to an out of the way place within 50 ft of the casting of the spell, where the caster will perform for him. Neither the caster nor target can be attacked by anyone within a 20 ft radius. The caster may defend himself, but at the cost of canceling the spell. The victim may not do anything. Once the performance has begun, anyone susceptible to control magic may be ensnared, at the caster's option, if they come within 20 ft of the bard while he is performing. He may attempt to ensnare a maximum number of people equal to his level by targeting them and stating, "Legend!". Unsuccessful attempts to ensnare a victim still count towards this limit. To start his performance he states "I will now give a performance" x5 so that it can be heard at least 50 ft away.
Limitations
The "out of the way place" cannot be within 50 ft of a base. Performance has a maximum length of a 300 count (started the moment the spell is finished being cast). If ended without the death of the target(s), the targets must tag their base before returning to the game. Players not affected by Legend may not attack, cast magic, or use class abilities on the bard or his victims if within 20 ft of the caster's performance but may enter and leave the area at will.
Notes
The caster may attack victims of this spell, though the caster attacking anyone in a Legend frees all other victims and the Legend spell is broken. The caster and victim are considered removed from the game during their transit to the performance location. This is considered an ongoing spell effect and as such may be removed via Dispel Magic (V7) targeted on the caster.
