         It sounds like the Xiola Umbar spell "Attract Attention", which is detailed in the Cults book of the Gods of Glorantha supplement. Three-point divine spell, ranged, reusable, duration one melee round. Everyone whose magic points are overcome must look at the priestess, and effectively all affected enemies must attack her that round, and all affected allies cannot attack anyone. This spell can be stacked with "Turn Blow", which causes any damage from a missile or melee attack that penetrates to the priestess also to be dealt to the attacker as general hit point damage, ignoring armor.

Doesn't the fact that there are *exactly* 50 states seem a little suspicious?
