### Spell description

By the use of this spell, the caster magically controlls the creatures mouth and vocal chords and thus can force the creature to say whatever he wants and in whatever tone of voice he wants, to a maximum of 1 sentence per level. For example, Desmond casts the spell on a troll. He makes the troll say "I'm a complete wimp, and I love other male trolls." The troll however, is still free to try to rip Desmond to shreds, because Desmond only controls it's voice. This spell is great for use on huge overconfident demons who often gloat at the party. With this little goody, you can make them say "I'm really stupid, in fact, I'm probably not even worth the experience you're going to get for killing me." Creatures with an intelligence of 14 or above are allowed a save at -4 to resist the spell. This penalty decreases by 1 for every intelligence point over 14. Other creatures are powerless to resist the devastating effects of utter humiliation. But the spell can be useful, although it does not control thoughts, feelings, or actions, just the voice.
