Nod is a cantrip that causes the recipient to involuntarily agree with a suggestion, but only for the space of 20 seconds. The effect is negated if a saving throw is made. Affected creatures can be made to look and nod in any direction of the caster’s choosing — thus giving an order or a sign to a specific creature or creatures, as the caster’s wishes.

When the cantrip is discharged, the recipient won't know that he or she has nodded — and may therefore make no effort to countermand or disapprove of the action. The nod may also create a situation where the nodder and others fall into argument, if the nod is misunderstood or resented.

The cantrip assumes the affected creature has a head to nod; additionally, the effect will have little meaning when applied to animals or most beasts.
