Components: V, S

Range: Close (25 feet + 5 feet per 2 caster levels)

Target, Effect, or Area: One humanoid

Duration: 1 minute per caster level

Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: Yes

This spell causes the target to begin gossiping relentlessly, unable to reveal the most personal information fast enough. The caster may encourage the target to gossip about any subject that he pleases, including secret passwords, the strength and number of the king's entourage, or the location of traps in the area. There is no limit to the information that the subject is willing to give out while under the influence of this spell.

Unlike charm person, the subject does not regard the caster as a friend any more than he did before gossip was cast. He merely sees the caster as someone who will listen to a good story or two. He will not take orders or commands, and will take no actions that he would not normally take except for revealing secrets that he knows.
