==Spell effects==
[[Confuse]], when used against enemies, works a bit like a "may or may not work" version of [[Charm]].  It targets the closest enemy to a casting player (up to 14 units' distance) and causes them to attack the nearest thing to them.  If the player is the nearest thing, they may continue attacking the player regardless of status ailment.  The trick is to cast Confuse on enemies near other enemies, or cast Confuse and run away.

Against players, it works just like the enemy version of Confuse; it reverses a player's controls, removes a number of in-between degrees of movement, and causes their element palette to shuffle.  The control palette is shuffled by swapping each element another in pairs: {{Element|lightning}}{{Element|life}}, {{Element|arcane}}{{Element|earth}}, {{Element|shield}}{{Element|cold}} and {{Element|fire}}{{Element|water}} are swapped.

When confused, remove it quickly by casting [[Nullify]], {{Element|arcane}}{{Element|shield}} which is now done by pressing 'D' 'R' to cue it up.

==Pros==
* Given automatically to players who complete or skip the Tutorial.
* Can be cast without looking in a specific direction, unlike Charm.
* Works on enemy players in PvP!

==Cons==
* Can be removed by Nullify.
* Cannot be "aimed" and may hit random allies if they're closer than enemy units.
* Not quite as reliable as Charm, due to the aforementioned distance condition.

==Trivia==
* All wizards have this spell in [[Game Modes|Adventure Mode]] as it is automatically acquired.
* Added to the game with the [[January 26, 2012 Patch]].
