Upon casting the Friends spell, the wizard becomes more personally compelling to those with whom he interacts. This spell does not stack with itself.

Description[]

A Friends spell causes the wizard to temporarily gain 6 points of Charisma. Those who view the caster tend to be very impressed with the spellcaster and make an effort to be his friend and help him, as appropriate to the situation. Officious bureaucrats might decide to become helpful; surly gate guards might wax informative; attacking orcs might spare the caster's life, taking him captive instead.

Gameplay[]

Casting this spell is a cheap and effective way to improve barter prices. Cast it before dealing with any merchant for optimal results.
