The Draconic bloodline arcana variant for Imperial dragons states: "Whenever you cast a spell that affects a creature with the shaken, frightened, or panicked condition, increase the spell’s save DC by 1."
I see 2 different ways this could work and not sure which is meant.
Option 1: Is the spell save DC increase meant to apply to all spells you cast as long as the target is already under a shaken, etc. effect?
or
Option 2: Does the spell save DC increase only applies to spells that cause shaken, etc.?
I think it's pretty safe to say it's no.1. To 'affect with' isn't really the kind of language Pathfinder uses. If it was no.2 it would just say something like "a spell that applies a fear condition".

That's what I would have expected too. Thanks for the thoughts.
