Brightsong (Abjuration, Alteration, Enchantment) Level: 6 Range: 0 Components: V Casting Time: 1 rd. Duration: 1 rd./level Area of Effect: 20-ft. radius Saving Throw: None This spell is unleashed by a sung incantation; it creates free action (akin to that of 4th-level priest spell or the [[Ring of Free Action]]) in a spherical area of effect centered on the caster. In this space {which moves with the caster), all creatures can move and attack normally, and the following | magical effects are negated or prevented from forming: web, slow, entangle, forcecage, hold, and all types of paralysis and petrification. All ocks, mechanical and magical, are opened, and all knots are untied. Beings under any sort of compulsion (such as charms, geas spells, or psionic influences) are allowed an immediate saving throw to escape them upon entering the brightsong’s area of effect. A given brightsong spell allows only one such attempt per being, regardless of how many times a being enters and leaves its area of effect. This spell does not work underwater. Notes: Restricted to the Seven Sisters, their apprentices, and select Harpers in the FORGOTTEN REALMS setting (rare); otherwise restricted to bards and song mages.
