Nature's Charm causes a particular place to exert a special fascination beyond mere beauty to anyone entering the area except the spellcaster. Creatures native to the area of effect are not affected.
This spell must target a site of notable natural splendor that possesses both edible plants and fresh water. The spot cannot be larger than the spell's area of effect. For instance, a 12th level druid could cast this spell on a forest glade up to 360 feet across, with flowers and fruit-bearing trees centered around a waterfall.
Anyone coming upon the enchanted region must save vs. spell; those who fail invariably make up excuses to remain there long after they should have left. They say they want only to bathe, rest, admire the beauty a bit longer, eat the berries or fruit, paint a picture of the area, or defend the spot jealously from others.
Whatever the reason, those who fall subject to the enchantment forcefully resist all attempts to make them leave until the spell's duration ends.
The spell's material component is the druid's holy symbol.
Notes: Uncommon spell for druids.
