Exert your Mind and spend at least two Actions performing the following ritual: put on a sermon to activate. Select a Living target within 45 feet as well as a specific emotion. You must maintain Concentration while activating this Effect, and it fails if you are interrupted. Roll Charisma + Influence at Difficulty 6. Affected targets can resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 6.
If you succeed, for the next hour, your target will do things they otherwise wouldn’t have done, inspired by the chosen emotion. They will not necessarily display their emotions in an obvious way.
Actions they take will be in keeping with their character and the way they tend to deal with strong emotions. They will be unlikely to change their mind about any actions taken or decisions made until after the Effect ends.
When your target interacts with any valid target, they must roll Self-Control or be swept up in the same emotion. New targets pass it on as well, and so on, with the remaining duration decreasing by half until the chain stops.
If any affected target takes or deals Damage, this Effect ends.
Cassiopeia gestures over the target and whispers or speaks of their new identity. The target starts to blur, and in the blink of an eye it seems to have transformed.
On the name:
Originally Cassiopeia wanted to call this gift “Loki’s Middle Finger” but she figures it’d be too inappropriate, especially if she happens to work with a 16 year old again. It would be hilarious if the gesture for this gift’s activation was just Cassiopeia flipping the bird. The new name has a lot of L’s; surely no one would notice if you took one.
On Loki:
Cassiopeia usually focuses on Greek mythology (where all the gay people are), but that doesn’t make other areas any less interesting to study. If she were a god, she too would spend her days doing silly things simply because she’d be bored out of her mind otherwise.
On usage:
She’s not sure what she wants to use this for yet, but eventually she’ll be able to make fake ID cards or "valuable" items. Hopefully. On paper it sounded very cool, but it also banks on her creativity as always.
On sound and smell:
[Insert toilet joke here] But in all seriousness, it would be useful to disguise something in order to conceal it. She just hopes she won’t forget what she puts this illusion on; it would be a shame if she turned her necklace into grass and lost it in the backyard.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a target within arm's reach. Choose an illusion to generate, which can be no larger than a briefcase.
The chosen illusion is generated at your target, and it will remain in place for the next minute or you choose to end it. It can be perceived by people through their taste, touch, hearing, smell, and sight. The illusion cannot be used as an attack. You cannot make an exact replica of an existing Animate being or Object.
Anyone who struggles against the illusion hard enough to break a window or who would be damaged by the illusion (or who would be able to perceive it significantly through a sense it cannot fool) realizes it is an illusion, and the entire effect will be ended for all targets.
The illusion will remain fixed to its initial target, and can only change locations if the initial target is mobile in some way. It may have moving parts and engage in simple, predetermined movements but cannot perform anything complex or interactive unless you maintain Concentration and “puppeteer” it.
Through the use of clever rhetoric, Bill is able hold a brief conversation with people and inspire a surge of emotion in them.
Exert your Mind and spend one minute to activate. Select a number of Living targets equal to your Charisma within arm's reach as well as a specific emotion. This Effect cannot be used unless you are engaged in conversation with your targets. Make a Trauma roll when you activate this Effect. Roll Charisma + Influence at Difficulty 6. Affected targets can resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 8.
If you succeed, for the next hour, affected targets will do things they otherwise wouldn’t have done, inspired by the chosen emotion. They will not necessarily display their emotions in an obvious way.
Actions they take will be in keeping with their character and the way they tend to deal with strong emotions. They will be unlikely to change their mind about any actions taken or decisions made until after the Effect ends.
Both attacking someone and being attacked will end the Effect.
This Effect is not obvious, and the only sign you are using an Effect is the subject matter of the conversation relates to the emotion he is inspiring. If someone suspects that an Effect was used, they must roll Perception + Alertness, Difficulty 8 to pick up on your Tell.
Gaius recites long dead family magics, written down into one of many dusty tomes, and pulls energy from the air to infuse into the dead. Invisible phantom strings puppet the body into motion, using gaius' prompts of name or distinguishing characteristics to take hold and make it a humble servant to Gaius commands. The Zombie moves in shaky spurts loping along with feet akimbo and arms trailing. Though not much to look at these can be formidable foes, if left alone for their numbers to swell.

If you succeed, you possess your target for a number of Contested days equal to the Contested Outcome. The target has no control over their body or actions, though they retain consciousness and will remember anything that occurs during the possession. While the possession is active, the host body will grow two arms giving the host 4, making it very obvious to anyone who sees them that something is not right.
Your original body will be left behind, unconscious, in its same location. You may perceive through your original body's senses by Concentrating. If your original body is touched, you may roll Perception + Alertness to notice. You may spend an Action to end the possession early.
Stats: During the possession, you use the host body’s Body rating, but your own Mind rating. Any rolls you make use the host body’s Brawn, Dexterity, and Perception but your own Charisma, Intellect, and Abilities. You gain the effects of any physical Assets and Liabilities they have. You cannot read the target’s mind or memories.
Gifts: You have access to and can use any of your own Powers which are not intrinsic to your biology or physical body. You cannot access any Powers or other supernatural effects which the target has, unless they are intrinsic to the target’s biology or physical body.
Death: If the host body is killed or destroyed while you are still possessing it, you will die along with it. If the possession ends and your original body was killed, you may make a contested Mind roll against the host. The loser becomes a helpless observer as long as you both inhabit their body.
Eviction: If you attempt to force your host to take actions which would violate one of their Limits or their instinct for self-preservation, they may resist by rolling Mind. If their Outcome is higher than or equal to the contested Outcome, the possession ends and you are evicted from their body. If they fail, you remain in control.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see watch your soul crawl out of your original body into the other one.
