Istòril’s Slumber

Istòril’s Slumber (Dragàmyr ildra Kadàktrū)

Istoril’s Slumber forces the target into a dreamless sleep.

Details

No physical changes are made in the subject’s mind or body. The spell simply switches the target’s mind from wakefulness to deep sleep. Affected subjects become oblivious to normal sounds and sights, and assume a comfortable resting position (e.g., slump into a chair, curl-up on the floor). The slumber can be disrupted with vigorous shaking or other alarms, but the subject remains disoriented for a short time after waking.

A subject that does not naturally sleep cannot be affected by Istòril’s Slumber.
