Thundercaller Incite Rage Ability


Rules Questions

Liberty's Edge

TEXT FOR ABILITY: "Incite Rage (Su): At 6th level, the thundercaller can induce a furious rage in one creature within 30 feet. This effect functions as the rage spell and lasts as long as the target can hear the thundercaller’s performance. Unwilling creatures can be affected if they fail a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 the thundercaller’s level + the thundercaller’s Cha modifier).

Success renders the target immune to this power for 24 hours. The thundercaller cannot target herself with this ability. If the target has the rage class feature, it can instead immediately rage and stay in this rage without consuming rounds of rage per day as long as the thundercaller continues performing. This mind-affecting effect requires audible components."

MY QUESTION: What exactly does, "Success renders the target immune to this power for 24 hours," mean? It seems to me that it could mean two things:

Option 1: If an unwilling target succeeds on a saving throw vs incite rage, they are immune to the ability for 24 hours.

Option 2: If the ability is successfully used on a target, the target is (after the ability runs its course) immune to the effects for 24 hours.

I am leaning towards Option 1 being the correct option. Do you agree? If option 1 is correct, then the thundercaller could (as long as they have enough rounds of performance) keep using incite rage on the same friendly target (who would not need to make a save because they are not unwilling) for several different battles in a given day.

Does this sound correct to people?
