Spells and magic effects[]
- Demoralize Humanoid is set as a Mysticism spell effect rather than being part of the Illusion school of magic. This is not the case for related effects such as Demoralize Creature, Calm Humanoid, etc., which are Illusion effects and influenced by Personality. This is generally regarded as an oversight on the part of the developers.
