Emotional Influence
Spell, Mysticism, level 3
Nearby beings who fail to resist feel sympathy for the caster's party, or dislike or boredom toward whomever the caster names.
From the book
Anyone standing within 20 ft. of the caster who fails a save vs Will is stirred by one emotion of his choosing for 1 hour. Sympathy makes those affected understanding and kindly toward the caster and his companions, with a 50% chance they will actively help. Antipathy fills them with strong dislike for whatever creatures the caster names, with a 50% chance of open hostility. Apathy leaves them bored with, and uninterested in, the creatures he designates.

A scene
The border guards of Khitai have been rude, suspicious and increasingly interested in the contents of the mystic's traveling chest. The mystic Chen Yu sighs, clasps his hands, and lets a slow, heavy dullness roll out of him. Four of the five guards crowding around him lose interest almost at once. They yawn. They glance at the sky. The chest, the travelers, the whole matter suddenly seems unbearably tedious, and they wave the party through without a second look. The fifth, a sharp-eyed sergeant, frowns after them all afternoon.
