Power word: Smile
(I forgot what school other power words are)
Level: 0 Bard, 1 Sor/Wiz
Components: V
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: 25ft+5ft/level
Duration: 1 round
Saving Throw: None*
An amusing cantrip thats power links in to the deadly words of power uttered by only the most powerful of wizards and sorcerers. Upon speaking the verbal component (Ironicly, it is "Cheese") the subject of the spell is suddenly compelled to give a cheerful smile. This spell can only effect those who can smile, eg. the spell can make a half rotten zombie give a cheesy grin, or a feral yaun-ti smile with glee but it can't make a creature, such as a golem grind his gears trying to smile.
The only combat use of this spell is to disrupt casters. A spellcaster under the effect of this spell has 10% chance to fail the intricate verbal components of spellcasting, likewise a bard attempting to sing or chant or any other verbal based task has the same 10% chance of failure.
* Those who do not identify that the caster is using a spell on them (Spellcraft check) make a will save, if they pass, they understand that they are being forced to smile, If they fail, they beleive they are smiling upon their own free will.
