There’s many places to find source books for the d20 system, however DriveThruRPG has proven the most reliable over the years.

As the undead army was annihilated and the Dread Emperor fled, the old woman who was watching from the borders of the forest sighed in relief.
She did not want to get involved in the affairs of this Age, as all she desired was to protect her dear forest. Unfortunately, such a conquering force would have inevitably stumbled into her forest, and she was still bound to repel any invader from it.
Walking slowly back to her hut, she took the form of a younger woman and glanced at her crystal ball. All too soon, she would receive two sisters that would ask her a question. A question which she really did not want to answer.
As such, she had to prepare a way to frighten them to the point of fleeing, as was her usual tactic…

Anyone else pretending they are better than you at Fear effects? Show them this build.
You are fear incarnate.
All your fear effects bypass fear immunity. You can send enemies cowering as a move action or send them nightmares that kill them in their sleep. The more their fear increases, the stronger your own spells become. This is a ridiculously strong build and the best Intimidancer build I can reasonably make without involving shenanigans.
