Mind-affecting spells have a [Mind-affecting] descriptor, just like spells that are [Fire], [Light], [Evil], or [Language-dependent].
So no.
Sorry, I did not specify what I am talking about.
Prayer Attack is the Red Mantis Assassin Class Ability. It does not state it is a mind-affecting and since my character is about to enter a place full of undeads I just wanted to know how my ability reacts to them.

Heh, I thought you mean the Prayer spell.
Is there a Pathfinder system Red Mantis Assassin, or just the one in the 3.5 Campaign Setting? I bet there's one in the Inner Sea World Guide, but I don't have my hands on that yet.
So far I'm looking at the Undead type in the Bestiary, and while they have Immunity to Mind-affecting effects (Charm, Pattern, etc) it doesn't call out Fascinated.
I'm also looking at the Fascinated condition in the back of the book, and it doesn't say that it's Mind-affecting. At the very least, I'm assuming that whether Fascinated is Mind-affecting depends on the effect that generated it -- although logically, I'm having trouble thinking of how Fascinate isn't always Mind-affecting.
So I can't find anything in the book that would allow Undead to negate your ability just yet, but I'd see about whether there's an updated version or not, and I'd still be inclined to houserule it as Mind-affecting unless a good case can be made for nonmagically entrancing undead, plants and animated objects.

Thanks!
We are using the updated red mantis from inner sea world guide but it does not mention it either. I asked James and he said it does not say but it would probably be mind-affecting.As written it isn't but I see why my GM would like to house rule it is, though he has not decided yet.
