E/F/M:

This dweomer is one of the more potent possessed by the Gray School of Dweomercræft The Formula works only in conditions between full daylight and total darkness, however, so it has limited application. An illuminated chamber, though, is as ideal as a dusky twilight, starry night. or gray dawn. The practitioner selects an activation point. and from this center creep shadows which seem natural enough to most any happening to witness the phenomenonÑit could be the gentle swaying of a bough or the like, causing this movement The shadows move to cover the area, swaying, sliding, rocking gently to and fro, back and forth, hem and there. The subjects in the Effect Area grow drowsy in the first Action Turn of the dweomer, and then barely move, don't converse, and are lethargic. Then they sleep lightly the second AT. and by the third all are slumbering so soundly that only very loud noise, shaking, or a dash of cold water will awaken them until the explanation of the Casting Effect Those subsequently entering the Area will suffer the same Effect, but such new subjects will have the opportunity to avoid the dweomer. Each must make a roll against MR TRAIT total at DR "Extreme". "Very Difficult" if the subject is able to cast Heka. "Difficult" if a Full Practitioner, "Hard' only if a dweornercraefter of the Gray School.
