Snake Charm - Hishna

(See also: Charm)

This spell allows the caster to charm one or more snakes within range. The caster does not have to see the snakes; if present, they approach him when the spell is cast.

The charmed snakes will perform guardian functions for the caster, or can be sent to attack another individual-if the caster has a clear idea of that individual's appearance and whereabouts. The snakes will tenaciously continue their task for the duration of the spell.

The material component for the spell is the tail of a rattlesnake, which is rattled while the spell is cast.

Notes: Restricted to practitioners of hishna magic (the Maztica setting); common.
