Commands can be as general or as detailed as desired, although only visual and audible triggers can be used. Triggers react to what appears to be the case. Disguises and illusions can fool them. Normal darkness does not defeat a visual trigger, but magical darkness or invisibility does. Silent movement or magical silence defeats audible triggers. Audible triggers can be keyed to general types of noises or to a specific noise or spoken word. Actions can serve as triggers if they are visible or audible. A spell trigger cannot distinguish alignment, level, Hit Dice, or class except by external garb. The trigger can respond only to visible or audible triggers and actions in line of sight or within hearing distance. +1 metamagicPermanent SpellAs permanency Spell. +5 metamagicPower Word SpellAs Power Word spells (no save, one word component) +7 metamagicSymbol SpellAs Symbol, Sigil and Rune spells. +2 MetamagicPoison UseYou can use poison without a chance of accidentally poisoning yourself.

Each creature to be fascinated must be within 90 feet, able to see and hear the caster, and able to pay attention to him. The caster must also be able to see the creature. The distraction of a nearby combat or other dangers prevents the spell from working.  Each affected creature makes a Will save against the effect. If a creature's saving throw succeeds, the caster cannot attempt to fascinate that creature again for 24 hours. If its saving throw fails, the creature sits quietly and taking no other actions, for as long as the caster continues to concentrate. While fascinated, a target takes a -4 penalty on skill checks made as reactions, such as Listen and Spot checks. Any obvious threat, such as someone drawing a weapon, casting a spell, or aiming a ranged weapon at the target, automatically breaks the effect. Any potential threat allows the creature a new saving throw.Inspire CompetenceEnchantment [Mind-affecting]Level: Brd 2Components: VSCasting Time: 1 standard actionRange: 30 ft.Target: one creatureDuration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes (D)Saving Throw: Will negatesSpell Resistance: YesTarget creature gains a +2 competence bonus on skill checks with a particular skill.Turn UndeadAbjuration [Good]Level: Clr 1Components: VS MCasting Time: 1 standard actionRange: 60 ft.Area: 60-ft.

If its saving throw fails, the creature flees from you by the best and fastest means available to them. They flee for 10 rounds (1 minute). If they cannot flee, they cower (giving any attack rolls against them a +2 bonus). If you approach within 10 feet of them, however, they overcome being turned and act normally. (You can stand within 10 feet without breaking the turning effect's you just can't approach them.) You can attack them with ranged attacks (from at least 10 feet away), and others can attack them in any fashion, without breaking the turning effect.

You can change back as a standard action and doesn't provoke an attack of opportunity, which ends the spell. When reverting back, any objects previously melded into the new form reappear in the same location as they previously occupied and are once again functional.
