The casting of this spell begins with a smile and a
gesture resembling a greeting. Substitute the effect value of the spell for the
caster's charm skill (or is used as the charm skill if the mage
does not have the ability). Unlike the skill, however, the caster may roll each
round instead of every few minutes. Charm person is limited to living
beings of man size or smaller, and those that can understand the caster's
language. Charm person is an illusory spell with a difficulty of 12. If
the spell is disbelieved, then it has no effect. If the spell duration lapses,
the effect wears off rather quickly; it usually takes about an hour for intelligent
creatures or up to a day for simpler ones.
