Flavor

The caster's weaving gestures and droning voice lull onlookers into a pliant, suggestible daze.

Mechanics

Affects 1d6 creatures within about 30 ft (fewer if cast at one specific target, who at a penalty) who can see/hear the caster; save vs. spell negates. Hypnotized subjects are susceptible to a single reasonable verbal suggestion (not blatantly self-harmful) given while the spell lasts. Duration is brief (about caster + 1 ). Combat or threat usually breaks it.
