 '''Hypnotism''' is a spell that compels creatures who fail [[Saving Throws|save vs. magic]] to perform one action, and one action only.

-Upon being chosen by the caster, each creature is entitled to a [[Saving Throws|saving throw]].  Those who fail can be ordered to take a single action — cluck like a chicken, flee, ferry these things across the room, hold my sword, stand still, bind my friend's wound, give me your weapons, throw your weapons into yon chasm, etcetera. If the hypnotised character is asked to do something aggressive towards themselves or a friend, the spell will be immediately broken.
