This spell enables the caster to cause the subject to perceive everything as hilariously funny. The effect is not immediate, and the subject creature will feel only a slight tingling on the round the dweomer is placed, but on the round immediately follow- ing, it will begin smiling, then giggling, chuckling, tittering, snickering, guffawing, and finally collapsing into gales of uncontrollable hideous laughter. Although this magic mirth lasts only a single round, the af- fected creature must spend the next round regaining its feet, and it will be at -2 from its strength (or -2 “to hit” and damage) on the 3rd and 4th rounds following the spell casting. A successful save versus spell negates the effect. The saving throw depends on the intelligence of the creature. Creatures with intelligence of 3 or less are totally unaffected. Those with intelligence of 4-8 save at —6; those with intelligence of 9-12 save at —4; those with intelligence of 13-15 save at -2; and those with intelligence of 16 or greater have normal saving throw probability. The material components of the spell are a small feather, a tiny wooden paddle, and a minute tort. The tort is hurled at the subject, while the feather is waved in one hand and the paddle is tapped against the posterior of the spell caster.
