Rainbow pattern, originaly known as Nalevac's rainbow, was a spell that created an alluring light display.[2][3][5]
Effects[]
Rainbow pattern created an illusionary rainbow-hued, glowing pattern of interweaving colors within over 100 feet (30 meters) from the caster that would fascinate all creatures within a 20 feet (6.1 meters) radius of it. This spell only affected creatures that could visually see the pattern.[2][3]
The caster could move this rainbow pattern up to 30 feet (9.1 meters) per six seconds by gesturing with his spell focus. All those fascinated by the pattern felt compelled to follow it. If lead into a dangerous situation while doing so, such as through fire or off a cliff, there was a chance that those affected might break free of the illusion.[2][3]
