Riku’s magnetic voice and changing inflexions allow him to issue commands that others must follow. When he speaks with authority, his words carry a supernatural weight that compels the listener to obey, almost as if their will bends to his; when he speaks softly, hearts melt and he inspires honest devotion: regardless of tone, the effect is immediate and difficult to resist, making Riku's influence over others nearly absolute, at least for a short time. This ability amplifies his natural charisma, turning his voice into a force that can alter reality itself.

You cannot issue another suggestion to the target until 10 minutes after they have completed the first command or 10 minutes after a failure.
They will be unaware that they are under any sort of compulsion until the effect wears off, but they will appear obviously mind-controlled the entire time to anyone observing them. 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 and a conditional request. 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 Vampire is able to turn one of their victims into a lesser vampire, a pale shadow of a full creature of the night but useful nonetheless. Having drained and killed their target, the Vampire performs a brief ritualistic bloodletting, wherein they spill their own blood into the target's mouth, forcing them to drink, and bonding them together as child and sire.
Shortly afterwards, the fledgling vampire will rise from death, hungry for blood and eager to serve.
