You may instead cast this spell upon a single ally. The ally gains the above benefits, as well as temporary hit points equal to 1d8 + caster level (to a maximum of 1d8+10 temporary hit points at caster level 10th).

Bane fills your enemies with fear and doubt. Each enemy takes a −2 penalty on attack rolls and a −2 penalty on saving throws against fear effects. (This also worsens affected creatures’ morale checks by −2.)

You may instead cast this spell upon a single enemy. That creature takes double the listed penalties (−4 on attack rolls, saves against fear, and morale checks).
