Spook

Spook, originally known as Carbury's spook, was a rare spell in the Realms.

Effects
Upon casting on a single creature up to 30 ft (9.1 m) away, the spook spell enabled the caster to play upon its fears. Unless the target resisted the spell, the creature would turn and flee away from the caster at their maximum pace. Although the caster didn't actually run after the creature, a phantasm of the victim's mind did. It only affected creatures with at least some intelligence, and had no effect against undead.

Components
The spell only required verbal and somatic components.

History
The spell was invented by the Netherese arcanist, Carbury in &minus;863 DR.
