The user must lift and point what is left of the girthy wooden handle in a particular direction, and have line of sight to where the weasel is being summoned.
Jolting awake from nightmare about the nuke weasel, Cesar found himself in a white knuckled sweat in his roofless abode. He released his grip, only to feel an object clatter down to the floor. What appeared to be a broomstick handle had found its way into his hand, and upon closer inspection, it very eerily resembled the handle of the broom from the wizard/sorcerer/psychopaths home. After dwelling on the many weasels for quite sometime, Cesar attempted to go to bed, only to see the animated hellion of a weasel sleeping soundly on his pillow. Cesar promptly, screamed, defecated, and passed out, possibly in that order. :/

Weasel :), which can be no larger than a briefcase 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 may create a replica of a specific being or Object, though it is still limited by what you do or do not know about the subject.
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.
Years of dodging trouble and getting out of sketchy situations left their mark - making Evans more cold, calculating, but most of all slippery.
As of his last job however Clay is now able to weave trouble by quite literally jumping away thanks to his his new best friend - a wrist mounted grappling hook that has been expertly tuned to account for Clay's lightweight frame and equipment load, making him as slippery as a snake and fluid as a professional dancer, ideally at least.

A gift born of desperation, Vivian took the power granted to heal, found its flaws and turned it into a weapon. With a touch of her hand, Vivian's golden aura flows into the target, an expression of her very will. Whereas before this will was used to encourage healing her will now forces change.
Being a contractor is not an easy life. There is pain, loss and suffering. That being said, despite everything Vivian dedicated herself to giving hope to others despite not really believing it was impossible to improve the world. Her power works by allowing her to, in the simplest explanation, enforce her will on the world around her, through channelling her very essence of being. As such when this most recent contract occurred something shifted. For a moment, she considered not following her ideals. To give in and unleash on the world what it unleashes on her. A traumatic truth to the effects of her 'gifts' and what they are truly capable of. If she gave up the control and ideals she spouts despite not believing them. Perhaps even a punishment to herself, for whilst she wasn't truly traumatised she feels like she should have been. To be the Font of Hope is a powerful responsibility, one that can cause pain if misused.

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 Witch is a master herbalist and can cure any number of illnesses and diseases with her special potions. She goes into the wilderness to find the proper set of herbs.
