The spell recipient will be effectively charmed by the named target for one turn per level (10 minutes per level) of the caster, as well as being enamored/friendly with the named target until it is successfully removed by dispel magic or remove curse.  Savings throws are adjusted according to the named target's charisma:3 or less = +44 = +35 = +26 = +115 = -116 = -217= -318+ = -4</blockquote>
