Spell: Fateful Condemnation

You draw upon the target's negative fate, causing this lingering destiny to afflict it and its nearby allies with the unintended consequences of its past lives. Spiritual echoes of the target's past lives instill overwhelming feelings of doubt, regret, and despair into the minds of the target and its nearby allies. The effects depend on the target's Will save, with the following results.
