The Ultimate Joke

The Ultimate Joke

Muto Mentem 25

Base: 3 (major change to person's emotions)  Range: Sight (+3)  Duration: Diameter (+1)  Target: Group (+2)

The magus tells an audible joke or makes a humorous gesture visible to the targets. The joke becomes the funniest thing the targets have ever heard/seen. If the targets' emotional state is not actively hostile or suspicious, this results in uncontrollable laughter for the duration. Those strongly disinclined to find the joke (or situation) funny still suffer a -3 penalty to their actions for the duration while they struggle against the urge to laugh.

Note: Still spell/silent spell virtues can be used with this spell, but may require inventiveness as to what the joke is.

This spell also has an as-yet-unkown Major Side Benefit from experimentation.
