Template talk:Desc/mind-affecting

Niirfa-sa, I respect your admin status, but please stop messing with this page. As I've explained twice now, the "Mind-affecting" descriptor denotes a broad category of spells affecting the mind, including charm person, doom, scare, and Otto's Irresistible Dance. Enchantment (Charm) spells are specifically spells that improve a subject's disposition towards the caster (a magical Diplomacy check). I hope this clears it up. StarSword 18:33, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Alright, we'll keep the descriptor. However, I changed it because "mind-affecting" could, in of itself, mean a variety of things. Literally any spell that affects the mind could be considered mind-affecting and in 4e, the term used for what mind-affecting meant in previous editions in "charm." However, so long as mind-affecting is used in the same capacity it was in earlier editions, I suppose there's no problem. Keep in mind, however, that it is an equivalent term to "charm" in a 4e context. Niirfa-sa 20:27, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
