Distract is a cantrip that allows a caster to momentarily divert an opponent's attention. The dweomer creates a deep compulsion on the part of the recipient to turn and look towards a given point, if a saving throw against magic fails.
| Range | 10 ft. |
| Duration | 1 round |
| Area of Effect | 25 ft. circle |
| Casting Time | 2 action points |
| Saving Throw | negates |
| Level | cantrip |
The instant of the distraction happens at once — but those who fail save will be unable to do anything but look for one full round. In effect, they will be "stunned."
Those who turn from combat may be attacked from behind with a +2 bonus to hit, but they shouldn't be treated as surprised.
