Duration 1 round
Area of Effect 1 creature
Casting Time 2 action points
Saving Throw negates
Level cantrip


Causes the recipient to make and involuntary head nod, as if in agreement or in greeting. 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.


Moreover, the recipient will not know that he or she has made the nod, and will therefore make no effort to countermand or disapprove of the action once the cantrip’s duration has ended.

The cantrip is effective only against creatures with a low intelligence or more, that have heads to nod. There are no combat penalties against the nodding creature.
