Presence of the Mage

Type: Arcane Lore
Source: Dragon #359

Your delving into secrets unknown to mortals has forever changed you on an intangible level.
Prerequisite: Int 11, Cha 17, arcane caster level 18th.
Benefit: Allies within 25 feet of you are heartened and gain a +1 morale bonus on saving throws and attack rolls.
Non-allied creatures within 25 feet of you are slightly unnerved and suffer a -1 penalty on saving throws and attack rolls.
Further, natural animals shy away from you, becoming uneasy within 25 feet. Any attempt by you or your allies to influence an animal using a Charisma-based skill or ability (such as Handle Animal or wild empathy) within this area suffers a -1 penalty. Ride checks made within the area suffer a -2 penalty.
The latter two effects are mind-affecting fear effects.
