Waves of Weariness

(See also: Waves of Weariness - Lvl 2 (Wizard Spell))

Upon casting this spell on a creature, that creature is suddenly overcome with dizziness and exhaustion. A successful saving throw vs. spell negates this effect. Creatures of less than 12 Intelligence and Wisdom that fail this saving throw will immediately collapse for that round. They can get up again next round with no further ill effects.

Creatures of 12 or greater Intelligence or Wisdom that fail the saving throw vs. spell are delayed in their actions. They attack last automatically the next round they have an action or attack.

This spell has no effect against creatures that do not sleep, such as undead and elementals. The material component is a small book of poetry, which is read aloud (a personal favorite is Translations from Kara-Tur Haiku by Lhaeo of Shadowdale).
