''Avast, mateys! When yer crew be babblin' landlubber nonesense, use this spell to bring 'em back to the talk of the salty seas.''

Upon casting this spell, you hurl a pirateish insult at the target creature. If the creature can understand you, speaks your language, and fails its saving throw, it becomes strongly compelled to talk like a pirate. So much so that their mind is wracked with pain if they try to talk in a different way.

For every sentence the character speaks, they must include one of the following words/phrases or else take 1 damage:

*Arrr (or any variation, such as Yarr or Harr)
*Ahoy
*Avast
*Barnacle
*Belay
*Bilge-[dog/rat/urchin]
*Black Spot
*Booty
*Brine
*Buccaneer
*Crow's nest
*Davy Jones' Locker
*Doubloons
*Freebooter
*Grog
*Hornswaggle
*Jolly Roger
*Landlubber
*Old Salt
*Parlay
*Pieces of Eight
*Pillage
*Powder Monkey
*Rum
*Scurvy
*Scallywag
*Seadog
*Shiver me timbers
*Smartly
*Thar she blows
*Three sheets to the wind
*Walk the plank
*Yo ho

Unlike most spells, this spell affects a player in addition to their character if it is cast on a PC (rather than a monster on NPC). This happens regardless of a successful saving throw and lasts for 10 minutes/level of out-of-game time. Any non-piratey talk on the player's part will instantly cause their character to take 1 damage. This damage can never bring a character below 1 hp, however. Because losing a character because of a silly spell effect out-of-game would be really lame.
