Awe
Spell, Divine Magic, level 7
The caster glows with spiritual power; foes who fail to resist will not interfere as long as they are left alone, and even those who resist hesitate for a minute.
From the book
The caster's body takes on an otherworldly radiance and gives off an intense aura of spiritual power. Enemies and would-be foes within 100 ft. who see the caster this way must save vs Will or draw back in awe.
Those who fail will not interfere with the caster or any companions in any way, provided they themselves are not attacked or harried. Even those who succeed hold back for a full minute on seeing the caster's true spiritual self; only really evil, vicious or desperate creatures will risk attacking.

A scene
The Scythian horde has ridden right up to the temple steps in Saturnia, a hundred mounted warriors with bows drawn, and the old high priestess walks out alone to meet them. As she reaches the top of the steps, a radiance breaks out of her, soft and immense, as if the sun had quietly stepped inside her skin. The front ranks lower their bows without knowing why. Their horses back away. A few hardened veterans grit their teeth and hold their ground, but even they do not move for a long minute. No one fires.
