If the contested Outcome is positive, your target will be compelled to follow your command to their best understanding of the letter and spirit of the command until they have completed it or for your Outcome in minutes. You cannot issue another suggestion to the target until 10 minutes after they have completed the first command or 10 minutes after a failure.
The target is unaware that they are under supernatural influence and feel they are acting of their own free will. If you fail, they realize that you were attempting to influence them supernaturally with your command.
Your command can be an order to take an immediate Action. You cannot order a target to "do nothing," and they are free to take other Actions as they fulfill your request. Your command cannot be obviously self-destructive. The Effect ends if following your command would cause a target to cross one of their Limits in a way that would necessitate a Trauma roll.

The dream goddess can bring true, restful, sleep to all. Though those who experience her touch at not always the most willing, the goddess is not one to take no for an answer once she's been pointed at a target and her spiritual means are often quite difficult for some to resist. Though after a brief journey to the shrine of tranquility, and with a little help from the heroes sword, Vergil was able to free her from her gemstone prison and now with her freed from the gem the only thing he needs to wield the goddesses power now is a blue rock to remind him of her presence and their connection. Since obtaining Tranquility, he has obtained the ability to manifest this through his sword, a swipe of the blade catching most in it's path and ensuring they find a more peaceful end.

When an affected target wakes up, they remain drowsy for the next minute, and suffer a -3 dice penalty. If an affected target successfully resists being put to sleep, they will still become drowsy for the next minute, and will suffer the same penalty.
After putting in extra study within marine biology, Eric has taken on more of a "mad scientist" outlook on it. With some experimentation on only himself, because he wouldn't dare bring his pet Terry nor any animal to harm, he was able to develop an innate method of altering his biology with a more aquatic physique-- one that allows him to shapeshift and do many new things. He can grow gills to breathe underwater, sprout the shells of a crab across his body to protect himself, or all manner of possible things when it comes to the animals that live under the sea.
Of course, it not only takes some time to create the change, but it also wears off after about a month passes. However, at will, Eric is capable of simply "turning it off" and reverting the changes before the time passes.

The priest's miracles expand into the treatment and curing of poisons and diseases. To do so, they require a ceremonial dedication (or often re-dedication) to the service of their god, during which the priest and the patient pray together and perform ritualistic bloodletting.

Your target is marked with a throbbing wound that smells strongly of blood. The mark can only be discovered with a deep medical inspection or Effect. Removal inflicts a Severity 1 Injury on the target.
