''A shadowy blast passes briefly over your enemies; in its wake, only fear. You wiggle your fingers creepily and say "Ooga booga" for effect.''

Enemies within the area of effect become [[Frightened, Revised (3.5e Condition)|frightened]] for 5 rounds. If a creature with 6 or fewer hit dice succeeds on their saving throw, they are only [[Shaken, Revised (3.5e Condition)|shaken]] for 1 round instead. Creatures with more than 6 hit dice suffer no effect on a successful saving throw. ''Frighten'' counters and dispels [[SRD:Remove Fear|''remove fear'']].

{{Underbar|''Frightened'' and ''Cause Fear''|''Frighten'' is intentionally set at the same level as [[SRD:Cause Fear|''cause fear'']], and if you include it you should not expect spellcasters to prepare ''cause fear'' in their first level spell slots. You may want to allow casters to prepare a version of ''cause fear'' with a 1 round duration as a 0 level spell (cantrip or orison) instead.}}
