Fear
School necromancy [fear, mind-affecting]; Level bard 3, sorcerer/wizard 4
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S, M (the heart of a hen or a white feather)
Range 30 ft.
Area cone-shaped burst
Duration 1 round/level or 1 round; see text
So does that duration mean that any caught in the initial blast is affected for that many rounds?
Does the Duration mean that the Cone hangs around for that many rounds and anyone entering it makes a save?
I assume it means the first - the cone goes off, anyone in the cone is affected for that many rounds, and then the cone is gone. The spell isn't explicit though. (Duration should really be Instant, with the text explaining you are panicked for 1 rnd/level).
