	'''Mesmerise''' is a status and monster-only spell which causes you to find the caster irresistibly fascinating. If the spell beats your [[willpower]], you are unable to move away from the caster, and become unable to [[berserk]]. You can still attack, make non-movement actions, and "uncontrolled" movement (e.g. the [[Blink]] spell) as normal. Mesmerise does not require line of fire to affect you.
