If you succeed, for the next three hours, your target will do things they otherwise wouldn’t have done, inspired by bloodthirsty excitement. 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.
