Cause Fear

Cause Fear is a bloodless way to prevent a battle.

Spell Description
Some mages are irritated by the assault of weaker foes and just want to be free of the distraction. If the Mass Sleep spell is not available, then mages usually use the spell Cause Fear. Casting it, all the foes will suddenly feel a terrible fear and flee from the caster in blind panic. Only very powerful beings can withstand this effect. It is also used by the virtuous to avoid battle against non-evil creatures.

Trivia

 * The spell was omitted from the C64-Port of Ultima VI.
 * In Ultima VII, used diapers have exactly the same effect as this spell. This is hinted at in the the book A Guide to Childcare for the Rich and Famous, written by Lady M..
