This powerful curse places a potent charm on the target, effectively behaving as charm monster. However the bewitching curse is quite difficult to remove, requiring a remove curse or break enchantment spell with a successful opposed caster level check to break. The spell does not automatically break if your allies threaten, but if you threaten the target or refuse to defend them they are allowed another Will save to end the effect.

Unlike a mere charm, the target also develops an extremely strong loyalty and love toward the caster, either in a platonic or romantic sense. They will seek to please the caster and gain their favor, often going above and beyond than normal. The caster always treats the target as helpful, and gains a +4 bonus on their Charisma check to order the target to do an action that they wouldn't normally do and to Charisma-based skill checks against them. The target is also unable to lie to the caster. The restriction against obviously harmful or suicidal order remains.

The loyalty and love manifested by the spell lingers even if it is removed, the target remains helpful toward the caster even after the spell is removed. Although the target is now able to change their mind, especially if the deception is pointed out to them.
