Effect
The target is first subjected to a legacy dispel check at 1d20 + 30 aimed at effects protecting it from mind-affecting magic.
If the warding is removed, the target makes the spell’s Will save. On a failure it obeys the caster for 20 hours. Unlike ordinary domination-style magic, the source does not grant another save merely because a command is reprehensible or self-destructive.
The spell also makes creatures normally protected from mind-affecting effects by low or unusual Intelligence susceptible to those effects for the duration, and treats the victim as shaken.
Edition Status
This is third-party 3.x epic material. Modern charm immunity, condition rules and Dispel Magic procedure work differently and require explicit conversion.
