Flavor

The caster preys on instinctive fear, and the target flees from a menace its own mind conjures.

Mechanics

Targets one creature within about 30 ft; it perceives the caster as a feared threat and flees as fast as possible. The fleeing target may vs. spell to resist, with the save getting easier each the caster pursues (cumulative penalty diminishes). Only affects creatures capable of fear; the spell intensifies the target's own dread. Lasts while it flees.
