"Test subject number... one-dash-seven-dash-three. Sleep experiment, day 10, K____ D_______, researcher. Subject shows heightened posterior parietal cortex and prefrontal cortex activity during allocated resting times. Subject has been mentioned or sketched in several of the other *creatures* dream logs, even if subject had no previous interaction with them. Subject seems unaware of her influence on others at the present moment. Will continue to monitor, though with a request for further testing.” The tape cuts and another, less professional tape automatically plays.

If you succeed, your target becomes drowsy for the next 3 Rounds, during which time they suffer an additional -2 dice Penalty to all Actions. At the end of their drowsiness, they fall asleep for Contested Outcome x 3 minutes.
Sleeping targets will not prematurely wake up on their own, and can only be awoken by taking Damage or nearing death from hunger, thirst, or suffocation. Drowsy targets always fall asleep, regardless of what happens while they are drowsy.
You may determine the content of an affected target's dreams while they are asleep, but they must involve you in some way, and will reveal you as the source of their sleep as well as reveal secret information about yourself to them. By maintaining Concentration, you may enter their dreams and converse with them directly.
When activating this Effect you may attempt a knockout. If you do and your Contested Outcome exceeds 4, the target falls asleep immediately. Otherwise, they suffer the drowsy penalty for 2 Rounds.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see people see their worst nightmares writhing in the sand as it flows..

Your alternate form is its own deadly weapon. Unarmed attacks made in your alternate form deal +3 Weapon Damage (instead of the typical -1).
