	'''Enthrall''' is a spell that places creatures under a bewitchment, causing them to cease what they're doing and — once the caster begins to speak — to listen, enraptured. Those affected by the spell can comprehend what's said. Following the spell's duration, what's said will also be remembered. The listeners can act on this information according to their own volition, protecting themselves or taking advantage of an obvious opportunity.

 == Saving Throws ==
 When the spell [[Spellcasting|is discharged]], creatures within the area of effect are permitted a [[Saving Throws|saving throw vs. magic]].  Those with '''less than four [[Hit Dice|hit dice]] suffer a -4 penalty''' to this roll.  Creatures that aren't humanoids receive a +4 modifier.  Creatures with an [[Intelligence (ability stat)|intelligence]] of 4 or less aren't affected by the spell.
-Listeners who fail their save will, in any event, continue to listen so long as the caster keeps speaking.  The maximum time will be 5 minutes, multiplied by 1d4 per level.  For example, a 5th level caster can speak for 40 to 200 minutes.  The caster can pause for effect, but cannot make another action without breaking the spell.  The subject material is whatever the caster chooses.
+Listeners who fail their save will, in any event, continue to listen so long as the caster keeps speaking.  The maximum time for speaking 5 minutes, multiplied by 1d4 per level.
-Those who succeed in making a save may act freely; however, they will be unaware that a spell was cast, and so will have no reason to resist the castor or dissuade other listeners, unless the listeners were engaged in melee prior to the spell.  If this is the case, then those making a saving throw will most likely attack the caster directly, rather than busy themselves otherwise.
+: For example, Grant is a 5th level cleric; he rolls 5d4 and receives a total of 13; this lets Grant speak for 65 minutes.  During this time he can pause for effect, but he can't take another action without breaking the spell.  The caster chooses what to speak about.
 == Bringing the Spell into Play ==
 It's not unusual for a cleric to employ the spell while  [[Preaching (sage ability)|preaching]] a sermon, to enhance the effect of [[Congregation (religious)|congregation's]] attention.  Doing this more than twice a month encourages the listeners to remain loyal to the caster, increasing their morale by +2.
-If the goal is to distract one or more subjects, a caster might cast the spell from a safe distance, move up slowly while concentrating and then begin speaking, discharging the spell, once the subjects were in the spell range.  If they failed their saves, the caster could keep talking for as long as it was needed to distract them.
+Wishing to urge a crowd to save themselves in an emergency, a player might cast the spell and shout, "Run for your lives!"  If there was an evident threat, everyone in the area of effect would automatically pay attention, see the danger and run.  And if no evident threat existed, at least those who made their morale checks would act as the speaker says.
-The spell would be excellent for inducing students to listen to lectures.
