This spell calms agitated creatures. You have no control over the affected creatures, but
calm emotions can stop raging creatures from fighting or joyous ones from reveling. Creatures so affected cannot take violent actions (although they can defend themselves) or do anything destructive. Any aggressive action against or
damage dealt to a calmed creature immediately breaks the spell on all calmed creatures.
This spell automatically suppresses (but does not dispel) any morale bonuses granted by spells such as
bless, good hope, and
rage, as well as negating a
bard's ability to inspire courage or a
barbarian's
rage ability. It also suppresses any
fear effects and removes the
confused condition from all targets
. While the spell lasts, a suppressed spell or effect has no effect. When the
calm emotions spell ends, the original spell or effect takes hold of the creature again, provided that its
duration has not expired in the meantime.
