Any opponent attempting to directly attack the warded Creature, even with a targeted spell, must attempt a Will save. If the save succeeds, the opponent can attack normally and is unaffected by that casting of the spell. If the save fails, the opponent can't follow through with the attack, that part of its Action is lost, and it can't directly attack the warded Creature for the Duration of the spell. The opponent also feels a strong sense of pity toward the target, as if it were weak, pathetic, and not a threat. Those not attempting to attack the subject remain unaffected. This spell does not prevent the warded Creature from being attacked or affected by area of effect spells. The subject cannot attack without breaking the spell but may use non-attack spells or otherwise act.

If the target breaks the spell by attacking, any Creature that failed its save against the spell gains a +2 morale bonus on attack rolls against the target for 1 minute.
