    Subjects in the area fall asleep. After the duration runs out, they can be woken normally, but they will not necessarily wake up right away, especially if already tired. Upon waking up, a subject is stunned (p. B420) and may roll vs. Will once per second to recover. The spell only affects sapient (IQ 6+) beings, and the caster may omit any creatures from the effect.

    You can send telepathic commands to a sapient subject. If the subject fails to resist, he will obey your every command to the exclusion of everything else. In effect, the subject temporarily acquires Slave Mentality (p. B154). Any order that goes against the subject’s values or sense of self-preservation triggers another resistance roll, possibly at a bonus.
    If you tie or lose, the subject can sense coercion coming from you. In addition, you cannot try to affect him again within 24 hours.

    If you have the attention of a group of sapient creatures that share a language with you, you can use this spell to hold them spellbound. To cast the spell, you must speak or sing without interruption for the entire casting time. Thereafter, those affected give you their undivided attention, ignoring their surroundings. The caster may omit any creatures from the effect.
    The effect lasts as long as you speak or sing. Those enthralled by your words take no action while you speak or sing and for 9 more seconds thereafter while they discuss the topic or performance. Those entering the area during the performance must also successfully resist or become enthralled.
    If any member of the audience is attacked or subjected to some other overtly hostile act, the spell ends.
