DESCRIPTION

Although your bow need not be drawn, you must have an arrow nocked in it to cast this spell. When you point, a black ray projects from your pointing finger and causes your target (must be a living creature) to feel the naked horror of your arrow piercing its heart. You must succeed on a ranged touch attack with the ray to further affect your target, as described below.

The target becomes panicked unless it succeeds on a Will save. If cornered, a panicked creature begins cowering. If the Will save succeeds, the creature is instead shaken for 1 round.

You may point at as many creatures per round as you have attacks. Creatures must be able to see you or sense your presence to be affected.
