-'''Snake charm''' is a spell that allows the caster, using gestures, musical instruments, or song, to calm the movements of [[Snake|snakes]] and other [[Reptiles|reptiles]], mesmerizing them.  The magic affects only natural [[Animal|animals]].  One or more of these creatures may be enchanted, as the caster makes each affected creature behave as desired.  Once taken over, the snake or reptile must remain in the established area of effect.

 No concentration is necessary to maintain this control.  The caster may therefore enter into [[Combat|combat]], cast other spells and so on, during which time the affected creatures will lift themselves from the ground and gently sway in place.  When released from the charm, the creature automatically loses its first attack while recovering.

		+	== Putting the Spell in Use ==
		+	Presumably, if coupled with [[Speak with Animals (spell)\|speak with animals]], a snake could be controlled long enough to make it complicit of its own free will. The spell could be used to collect snakes and release them when desired, as a form of attack, or for making them part of a trap. Naturally, as shown in the image, snakes could be employed in some form of performance. In a campaign involving the management of a zoo or menagerie, snake charm could be used to handle and care for reptilian exhibits.
