'''Mesmerise''' is a monster-only spell which causes you to find the caster irresistibly fascinating.

Mesmerise is a monster-only spell which causes you to find the caster irresistibly fascinating. If the spell beats your magic resistance, you will find yourself unable to move in any direction which would place you farther away from the caster, making retreat impossible (including up or down stairs). Fortunately, finding something fascinating does not mean you like it any more than you used to, so you can still attack the caster.
