I wonder if enchanters have the same problems with their enthrall series of
spells that we do with lullaby and pixie? When enchanters cast a mezmerize
on a high level mob and get a success message, do the mobs sometimes
continue to attack them? I've never heard one enchanter complain that this
was happening to them. Based on what GZ says, you would think the rules for
bards and enchanters would be the same for enthrall spell series and
lullaby/pixie.
