This spell temporarily bestows the aura of a powerful proxy on the caster, inspiring awe all lesser creatures with the priest's terrible perfection and righteousness. The aura creates a sense of awe in creatures with fewer than 6 Hit Dice, so that they cease whatever they are doing and turn to face the caster. When the caster speaks, his words are treated as a suggestion spell, and are telepathically understood by the listeners, even if the caster does not speak any language intelligible to the listening creatures.
Creatures that succeed in a saving throw versus spell are not awed by the caster and can continue their actions normally. Creatures with more than 6 HD are immune to the effect of the spell.
This is yet another spell developed by the archons of Mount Celestia, but its use has become more widespread now.
The material component is the same as a crown of brilliance, but the opal must be worth 200 gp.
Notes: A planar priest spell, uncommon for good priests who traffic with archons; otherwise, very rare.
