Deter

Deter is a spell on the Serpent Isle for avoiding battles.

Spell Description
Some mages are not willing to kill wild animals, as to their reasoning these animals have no intelligence and therefore are not capable of being evil. To solve this dilemma, they use the spell Deter. Wild animals at once lose the will to attack the mage, seeing him or her no longer as any kind of threat. This makes it different from Cause Fear, which makes the foes flee in terror. It is a spell useful for the virtuous, but useless against any creature that has even an ounce of intelligence or malevolence in them.
