Sapient subject feels an undeniable urge to dance and begins doing so, complete with foot shuffling and tapping.

Casting Roll: None. Use Innate Attack (Gaze) to aim.

Range: 100 yards.

You may fill a two-yard-radius area with will-sapping gases. This gives -3 to all vision rolls made through it. To place the gas cloud at a distance, use Innate Attack (Gaze), with normal range penalties, but at +4 for affecting an area. The initial attack roll places the effect. It then drifts from that point with the wind.

Additionally, every sapient creature that inhales the gas, loses 4 levels of Will for 3 minutes, if he fails a Will roll to resist.
