This spell can be cast either as an area of effect, or by concentrating it on a single creature.

Area Brainwash Wave: You emanate a wave of mental energy in a 60-ft. cone, turning your enemies into semi-allies for as long as you concentrate. As a wave of mental energy, brainwash wave penetrates any stone barrier no more than 1 foot thick, and wooden barriers of 5-ft. or less of thickness. All creatures caught must make a Will save or become confused for the duration, except it uses the table below:

d%	Action
01–10	Do nothing but attempt to fight off the brainwashing.
11–20	Act normally, but cannot attack caster or her allies.
21–100	Attack nearest creature (for this purpose, a familiar counts as part of the subject’s self) that is not allied with the caster.

While confused this way, the affected creatures counts as hostile toward their allies for the purpose of spells, abilities and flanking. If 'Do nothing but attempt to fight off the brainwashing' or 'Act normally, but cannot attack caster or her allies' is rolled, the creature is allowed to take a full-round action to make another Will save. A success means that the effect immediately ends for them.

Focused Brainwash Wave: Alternatively you may focus it on a single creature within range , the creature must make a Will or become a much more willing thrall. On a failed Will save the target reacts to you and your goals as if its attitude was helpful and this attitude cannot be made to worsen, additionally its attitude toward all your enemies worsens by two steps.

You may spend 1 minute to instill a single request of the affected creature. The request cannot be suicidal. Even after the spell ends, the creature retains its new attitude toward you, but only with respect to that particular request. You may only instill a single request per casting of brainwash wave. If the request is unreasonable or against the target's nature, it is allowed a Will save to ignore it.
