Bardic Performance Frightening Tune: What spell is it like?

[Caedwyr]

Frightening Tune is a spell-like ability. I believe that one of the requirements for a spell-like ability is that it mimics a particular spell (normally named in the ability description). What spell is Frightening Tune supposed to be mimicing, and should it be mentioned in the ability's description text?

I believe(d) so too, but Bardic Performances don't look like spells at all.

None, really. And so no, it shouldn't. Cause Fear and Scare are somewhat similar, but the Performance doesn't copy them.
