This is a battle spell, intended to be prepared quickly and cast on an area or group while in battle. When used on opponents, this spell pits your mind against your enemy's will. It affects yourself and hostile creatures. It requires a minimum of thirty mana streams, and can expand to a maximum of one hundred mana streams woven into it.
