Description	This spell allows the caster (or more usually a referee acting as directed by the caster) to call Mass Confusion at a target point within range. For the duration of the spell, all creatures within a 30ft/10m radius of the spell’s target unable to act in any coherent fashion, except to parry or block attacks. Attacks against those affected by this spell, whether physical or magical, do not break this spell. Note: This spell may be resisted by the skills Iron Will, Resist Magic and Resist Exalted Magic or countered by the spells Countermagic, Greater Countermagic and Nullify, but as with all mass spells, countering and resisting only defends one subject. Cancelling the whole spell requires a special item or ability.
Skills	None (i.e. this skill must be researched or acquired in play)
