This is the supernatural ability to create illusions in a person’s mind. Only the target can see those illusions. Each attempt at induction requires the inducer to talk with the victim for at least one minute. Characters who cannot hear the inducer are immune to his powers.
Attempts at induction require a die roll of Communication + Induction. Induction is not made more difficult by the complexity of the illusion: it is made more difficult as the risk the victim takes by believing the illusion increases. On some level the victim is aware of the real world, and can snap out of the induced state if threatened.
The Ease Factors for Induction are:
Innocuous 3
Potentially Shaming 6
Potentially Dangerous to Others 9
Potentially Dangerous to Self 12
Potentially Suicidal 15
Roll Modifiers (pick only one)
Victim is drunk, drugged, exhausted, or critically ill +3
Victim knows and trusts the inducer +3
Site of induction has been carefully prepared with expensive props, in advance +3.
If an Inducer has successfully snared a victim, the Inducer may roll again to try and bump the effect up to the next level of risk. This requires at least fifteen minutes, and on the second roll, the Ease Factor is reduced by 3. An inducer can take a great deal of time, and several rolls, to work a victim up through the levels of danger to potentially suicidal.
A victim of induction realizes afterwards that they have been affected by magic if the roll above does not exceed the Ease Factor by (6 – 1 per factor from the list below).
This value can be reduced by 1 by each of the following factors: choose no more than 3.
Follow up (the character has been convinced previous illusions were real, and this one is part of that larger story).
Specialties: particular kinds of illusion. (Supernatural)
