Shattered Kingdoms

That is the way it works and it's kind of silly.

I think it's too similar to a certain cabal spell, like necromancers need it.

Says the Hammer merc!

I can't really think of any cabal spells that are similar to fear.

I was thinking the same thing.

Treefinger, buddy. Come on.

The closest one I can think of, is a certain ability to knock people out of the room. Not as good as fear, in that they can come back though. That is my best guess. Otherwise, you are right, nothing really comes close.

People are actually using this spell now? Wow.

Yeah after seeing another log where this spell raped a bunch of people with enchants, it needs looked at. Either it needs some adjustments on it's save or it's casting time needs severely lengthened.

Spell is fine, don't be dummies.

The only thing I could possibly agree with talking about with fear is the casting speed. Nothing else about the spell is a problem/OP.
