Greater Malison
(Enchantment/Charm)

Range: 60 feet
Component: V
Duration: 2 rounds/level
Casting Time: 4
Area of Effect: 30-foot-radius sphere
Saving Throw: None

 This spell operates exactly like the 3rd-level minor malison spell except that the wizard places a -2 penalty on all saving throws of all hostile creatures within the area of effect. Optionally, the wizard may create a -3 penalty to saving throws against spells from one school of magic. This penalty is not cumulative with a saving throw penalty which derived from the wizard being a specialist; the penalty is not increased to -4.
