The cleric casting this spell inscribes a symbol in the air or upon any surface, according to his or her wish. The symbol glows for 1 turn for each level of experience of the cleric casting it. The particular symbol used can be selected by the cleric at the time of casting, selection being limited to: HOPELESSNESS — Creatures seeing it must turn back in dejection and/or surrender to capture or attack unless they save versus magic. Its effects last for 3 to 12 turns. PAIN — Creatures affected suffer -4 on “to hit” dice and -2 on dexterity ability score due to wracking pains. The effects last for 2-20 turns. PERSUASION — Creatures seeing the symbol become of the same alignment as and friendly to the cleric who scribed the symbol for from 1 to 20 turns unless a saving throw versus magic is made. The material components of this spell are mercury and phosphorus, (cf. eighth level magic-user symbol spell.)
