Despair allows a Bleaker wizard to share his world view with others. When this spell is cast, up to 8 sentient creatures (of Intelligence 3 or better) in a 20ft cube must successfully make a Wisdom Saving Throw or lapse into a severe depression that lasts for the duration of the spell. Victims of despair gain the paralyzed condition. If a body's damaged he gets another saving throw to shake off the effects of the spell. Interestingly, primes and members of the Free League are somewhat resistant to this spell, perhaps because they're not stuck on any particular philosophy; they gain a +2 bonus on their saving throws.
