Rainbow (cantrip)
Rainbow is a cantrip that creates an immense, flamboyant rainbow that materialises in an arc, apparently touching down at a distance of half a mile. The vivid nature of the rainbow is so striking that it acts as a distraction. The dweomer can be cast only when outdoors and during the daytime.
| Range | horizon |
| Duration | 2-3 rounds |
| Area of Effect | to the horizon |
| Casting Time | 2 action points |
| Saving Throw | negates |
| Level | cantrip |
Affected individuals must not be at work or already engrossed in some activity, such as battle, so that they have time and reason to look once the rainbow is made to appear.
Once the image manifests, creatures between low and average intelligence will pause and gawk at the illusion for one round. Those that fail saving throw are bound to continue staring for a second round, even in the midst of battle or when being attacked. Only thereafter is the effect broken, so that all who failed save regain their consciousness and return to normal behaviour.
