Cause fear

Cause fear is a prayer of the death and orc domains used by clerics early in their training. When used, cause fear fills its target, a creature within fifty feet of the cleric casting it, with absolute terror, causing them to flee a number of feet proportionate to the cleric's strength of personality, avoiding obstacles and hazards if it can but making it vulnerable to enemy assault. Cause fear is not particularly easy to cast and once used, requires a short rest of at least a few minutes before it can be recast.

Before the Spellplague, cause fear functioned in much the same manner. It was, however, used by blackguards and invokers as well as clerics and was limited to a number of castings per day equal to the number of times a cleric or blackguard had prepared to use it or an invoker had the energy left to cast prayers. There was also a similar spell used by bards, wizards, and sorcerers.
