Description:	The Nissa's Binding spell is the only legacy the Empath Guild has of Lanival's companion, Nissa. Though it is thought that this spell was originally meant to be a type of anesthesia, modern empaths have discovered other uses for it. When cast, this pattern will soothe the life essences around you and plunge them into a slumber. Those with great fortitude may resist this effect. As with most applications of this nature, Nissa's Binding is useless against the undead.
Effect:	puts targets to sleep, AoE
Example Messaging:	You hold out your arms, then bring them down evenly. You contribute your harnessed streams to increase the pattern's potential. The soothing wave sweeps over the area to encompass everything around you. PLAYER wobbles slightly, then collapses into sleep.
