Remove fear is a spell that halts the grip of fear on recipients, restoring their mental equilibrium and empowering them to confront even the most daunting situations. The spell may be cast before an action, so that those affected are made courageous enough to disregard attacks of fear for a space of 10 rounds. Once the time has past, the recipient recieves no further protection from the dweomer. The caster may cast the spell upon his or her self.

If the caster wishes to imbue the effect after an individual has been overcome with fear, then he or she must touch or catch hold of the fearful recipient by successfully hitting armour class 10, ignoring the enemy's armour. This permanently dispels whatever scare they've had, though it offers little protection against the individual being frightened again, granting a mere +1 bonus to their saving throws and morale checks for 10 rounds thereafter.

Those who are retreating or experiencing morale breakdown can also be touched and revitalized, enabling them to re-engage in combat.

Leadership

When cast upon a character who possesses an authority-status in the study of heroism, the effect bolsters the morale of all allies within 60 ft. by 1 point for the duration of the spell.

Reverse

The reverse of the spell, cause fear, also requires the caster to touch an unwilling recipient, making a roll to hit AC 10. Up to three enemies may be touched in this fashion. Those who fail their saving throws will flee at full movement stride for three complete rounds.
