Waves of Weariness (Lvl 2)

(See also: Waves of Weariness - Lvl 3 (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. A creature of less than 12 Intelligence and Wisdom that fails this saving throw immediately collapses for that round. It can rise next round with no further ill effects.

A creature of 12 or greater Intelligence or Wisdom that fails the saving throw vs. spell is delayed in its actions. It attacks last automatically the next round it has an action or attack.

This spell has no effect against a creature that does not sleep, such as an undead.

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).
