Gloomcloud (Priest Spell)

Usually reserved as punishment for transgres­sions. this spell causes a drizzling gray cloud to form over the head of a single creature. The cloud appears 4 feet above the creature's head and moves with it. The cloud is unaffected by wind or fire. The creature feels despair as if affected by the 4th level wizard spell emotion unless it makes a successful saving throw vs. spell at a -2 penalty. No benefit can be gained from the gloomcloud's drizzle; thirst is not quenched and fire is not put out by it.
The enchantment can be canceled by dispel magic. However, the creature is too dispirited to cast dispel magic on itself.
Those viewing the affected creature might also be affected by the dismal sight – causing them to laugh, take pity, or simply distrust the wet individ­ual (causing a -3 penalty to reaction rolls).
The material component is a drop of dirty water.
Notes: Very rare spell. (Updated from the Polyhedron? Newszine.)
