Cause Fear is a level 4 Hexes spell which scares monsters away from your current position. It only affects natural, non-berserk monsters. Its effect is subject to magic resistance, counteracted by your spell power.
A similar effect can be attained through use of a scroll of fear or the Banshee card.
Monster Version
The monster version of Cause Fear makes the player unable to move toward the caster, though if the caster closes to melee range, the player will still be able to engage them in melee. Depending on how well you can fight from a distance and what areas of the floor this cuts you off from, this may or may not be a problem. Fear also prevents the player from berserking. High magic resistance can prevent this spell from affecting you.
