Description: Your eyes cloud over, milky white, as you gain the ability to inflict gaze attacks. Creatures who take an action that causes them to look at you, such as attacking, must make a saving throw or become subject to the effects of your gaze. Prior to taking an action, creatures can attempt to avert their eyes. This grants you 1/2 cover against their action, and even so, there's still a 50% chance they accidentally meet your gaze. Alternately, they can close their eyes or blindfold themselves, preventing any such risk. While blinded, you are considered invisible against any action they take.

On your turn, you may take a standard action to actively gaze at a target within 30 feet. Doing so requires them to make a saving throw against your gaze, regardless of whether they are taking steps to avoid it. Each round the spell is active, you can target a new creature, provided they haven't successfully saved against this casting of the spell.

When you cast the spell, you gain one of the following gaze attacks. After choosing, the gaze cannot be changed.

• Charm (CHA Negates): Targets that fail their saves are charmed, as per the charm spell. This functions as a spell-like ability with a duration equivalent to the spell.
• Fear (WIS Negates): Targets who fail their saves become frightened (level 4) for 1d4 rounds. If the creature flees beyond sight of you, they gain new saving throws each round to shake off the initial fear effect. After level 4 fear wears off, the creature remains frightened at level 1 for 1 hour. This is a supernatural fear effect.
• Sicken (CON Negates): Targets who fail their saves are sickened with 2 levels of fatigue. This fatigue can only be removed after a long rest. This is a supernatural effect.
• Sleep (CON Negates): The target falls asleep, as per the sleep spell. This functions as a spell-like ability that is equivalent to the spell except that it requires a CON save to avoid the effect and has no HD limit.
