 '''Fear''': those not of the caster's religion will suddenly become [[Fear|terrified]] if they fail to make save vs. fear.  Those affected will run directly away from the caster for the spell's duration at the fastest [[Movement (stride)|possible speed]].  Those who make save will nevertheless give 3 [[Combat Hex|combat hexes]] of ground in awe of the caster, and thereafter make a morale check before entering any form of combat.
-'''Hopelessness''': those not of the caster's religion will feel an intense sense of despair, causing them to drop their weapons, strip off their armour and bewail their mortifying dread of the future.  This will cause the loss of one point of [[Armour Class|armour class]] per 5 [[Combat Round|rounds]] of the spell's duration.  If a character with the [[Proselytise (sage ability)|proselytise ability]] calls out and promises redemption at this time, every affected creature that fails to make a second saving throw will make an immediate and ''permanent'' change to the proselytiser's religion, and will accept [[Immersion (sage ability)|immersion]] in the new faith at the earliest opportunity.  Those who make save will feel an enormous sense of pity and empathy for the suffering, and will thus be unable to take any aggressive action whatsoever.

 There is a [[Saving Throws|saving throw against magic]] for each; however, even if a save is made, some effect is still felt by the recipients.  This, too, depends on the symbol; each of these are described below:
-'''Death''': every creature in the area, friend or foe — excepting the caster — is allowed a saving throw against [[Death|death]]; a failure will eliminate all [[Hit Points|hit points]] (h.p.), including 10 points [[Negative Hit Points|below zero]].  The dead are therefore considered to be at -10 where the spell [[Death's Door (spell)|death's door]] is concerned.  Those who save still lose half their total h.p. on hand; thus a character with 62 h.p. out of a possible 75 would be reduced to 31.  In addition, regardless of how many h.p. are lost, all characters within the effect of the death symbol are [[Stun Lock|stunned]] for a full round.  Creatures of the same [[Religion|religion]] as the caster are given a +4 saving throw bonus.  The effect happens at once, though the symbol will remain in the air and affect anyone who enters the area of effect likewise for the spell's duration.

+'''Pain''': those not of the caster's religion will be struck with an intensive, enduring agony, rendering them incapacitated but conscious for the duration of the spell.  For those who fail to save, no hit points are lost, but every [[Ability Stats|ability stat]] will be reduced to a maximum of 7 points — these will be gained back at the end of the spell's duration at a rate of 1 point per round, until returning to normal.  Due to this pain, the affected will be willing to make a temporary peace for that day, while seeking a lasting mutual treaty with the caster's allies and associates.  Those who make save will feel a stinging, arresting sensation like a numb part of the body restoring itself; they will feel compelled to sheath their weapons and give 3 hexes of ground; they will be able to speak and plead on behalf of their fellows.
-:::::::::::* '''Pain'''. Creatures will experience 2d6 hit points of damage, and have their movement reduced to 2, until they have left the area of effect. Those who are reduced to –4 hit points will fall unconscious and suffer no further damage. Creatures will be in too much pain to fight, but their defensive [[Armour Class|armour class]] (AC) will be unchanged.
-:::::::::::* '''Persuasion'''. Creatures must make save or they will become immediately friendly to the cleric; they will fight for the cleric’s causes and defend specifically the cleric above all else; if they are within 10’ of the cleric, furthermore, their AC will be improved by 2 points. However, once creatures have left the area of effect, the persuasion will end.
