You create a discordant cacophony of haunting and alien music in the area of effect. Those who save against the spell are disorientated for as long as they remain in the area and suffer a -2 penalty on attack rolls and skill checks for that time.

Those who fail their save become affected by the haunting fugue in semi-random ways. On each affected creature's turn (as long as it remains in the area of effect), the caster makes a Perform check. This check may be made with any type of Perform skill but if the skill used is keyboard instruments, percussion instruments, string instruments or wind instruments, the caster gains a +2 circumstance bonus on the check. Other characters can not affect this skill check through the use of the aid another action. The result of the check determines how the victim's mind and body are affected by the spell. The caster may select any of the effects for which their Perform check exceeds or equals the required DC to manifest.
