Tell me if this spell is overpowered for it's level. I'm taking criticisms and suggestions.

For 1 min/level enemies who see you make a will save or be stunned for for 3d6 rounds plus 1d6 rounds/level... this is way overpowered. Since the minimum stun duration of five rounds at level 5 is enough for most parties to beat most things to death with no resistance this is basically all enemies who see me for the next few minutes must make a will save or die and it only gets better from there.

Consider that this is better (longer duration and only one save) than the level nine spell

I suggest you scale it way back don't try and use the stunned condition at all and look at existing spells of comparable level.

For a level three spell try something with HD limitation such as Deep Slumber

Or something which gives enemies a condition like shaken,

Or something that gives enemies some other disabling status

Thanks.

I was trying to convert a feat (Quori Dread) from Secrets of Sarlona into a spell. I forgot all about what the illusion school can do.
