Flavor

The caster's words carry an unnatural warmth, and the target's wariness melts into the trust one gives a dear old friend.

Mechanics

Targets one person-type creature (humans, , humanoids of roughly man-size) within 120 yds.; vs. spell negates. A charmed subject regards the caster as a trusted friend and ally and tends to obey reasonable requests, though it won't blindly self-destruct and resents obviously harmful orders. Higher- subjects recheck the save periodically (DM-tracked). Ends with dispel magic or when the save eventually succeeds. Duration special.
