DESCRIPTION

Your presence becomes mighty, vile, and terrifying to creatures nearby. All creatures within the spell’s radius must make a Will save at the start of their turn; if it fails, they are shaken. They must continue to make saving throws each round, and shaken creatures that fail become frightened; any frightened creatures that fail a save become panicked. The spell’s caster must maintain the doom aura via concentration each round.

If the subject succeeds on a Will save, it not shaken but must make another saving throw if it remains within the area of effect. Creatures with 6 or more HD are immune to this effect.
