Scapegoat - Athas (Wizard Spell)

This spell is usually cast to stop pursuers or to distract those who might be searching for the mage or about to interfere with him. It causes creatures within a 20-foot radius of a chosen target creature to believe that the target is to blame for any and all troubles or difficulties they have. Having established the target's guilt, it further prompts those in the area to attack and neutralize the target. Only dispel magic or the incapacitation or death of the target will stop the attack.
Those within range must have animal intelligence or higher and are allowed a saving throw vs. spell once per round to come to their senses. Thus, a templar walking through the marketplace accompanied by a patrol of guards might become the target of the spell. All the people within range of the spell, including the templar's guards, would move to attack him.
The material components for this spell are a strand of hair and a stone thrown in the chosen target's direction.
