A cloud of cascading, ever-changing colors manifests in the air. Creatures are Dazzled while inside the cloud, as are those within 20 feet of the cloud's area. A creature must attempt a Will save if it is inside the cloud when you cast it, enters the cloud, ends its turn within the cloud, or uses a Seek or Interact action on the cloud. A creature currently affected by the cloud doesn't need to attempt new saves.
Success The creature is unaffected.
Failure The creature is Confused for 1d4 rounds.
Critical Failure The creature is Stunned for 1d4 rounds. After the stunned condition ends, the creature is confused for the remaining duration of the spell.
Traits
Effects and magic items with this trait involve false sensory stimuli.
An ability with this trait can take a character completely out of the fight or even kill them, and it's harder to use on a more powerful character. If a spell has the incapacitation trait, any creature of more than twice the spell's rank treats the result of their check to prevent being incapacitated by the spell as one degree of success better, or the result of any check the spellcaster made to incapacitate them as one degree of success worse. If any other effect has the incapacitation trait, a creature of higher level than the item, creature, or hazard generating the effect gains the same benefits.
You must physically manipulate an item or make gestures to use an action with this trait. Creatures without a suitable appendage can't perform actions with this trait. Manipulate actions often trigger reactions.
A spell with the subtle trait can be cast without incantations and doesn't have obvious manifestations.
A visual effect can affect only creatures that can see it. This applies only to visible parts of the effect, as determined by the GM.
