The bard that casts this spell must speak continuously for as long as he wants the spell to function, saying nothing coherent or meaningful during that time. This means that he cannot cast spells, give orders, shout warning, use bardic magic, or communicate with others in any way. At the beginning of the round after he starts casting the spell, all creatures within 30 feet of the bard that heard the entire round of babbling must make a Will save or suffer one point of temporary Wisdom damage. Creatures remaining in the area suffer one additional point of Wisdom damage per round until the bard stops babbling or they leave the area. Creatures that made their initial save but remain in the area must make additional saving throws each round they remain.

Arcane material component: A flower dipped in perfume.
