A single word echoes from you and fills the area of effect with an unsettling magical energy. All affected targets, beginning with the lowest hit points and adding another creature until the hit point limit is reached, act as if struck with the cause fear spell. Any creature with less than 20 hit points is only affected for one round, but weaker targets flee in panic as per the cause fear spell for 1d4+1 rounds.
