Legacy Power: Siren Song

listen to the song. you'll understand.

A 1 Gift Suggestion Power used by Nerissa, created by Abyssal.

Description

Nerissa cannot speak, but she can sing. Her songs don't have words, but when they're sung to the right person, they seem to understand. So beautiful are her songs to the right listener. So compelling.

System

Exert your Mind, spend an Action issuing your Suggestion to an Animate target within 20 feet, and roll Charisma + Performance Difficulty 6. You must communicate your command. The target may resist by rolling Mind, Difficulty 6 as a Free Action. If you succeed, the target will follow your command for Outcome in minutes.

Your command may be no more complex than Conditional commands (If X, then Y). Your command cannot be obviously self-endangering, destructive, or in violation of the target's Limits.


Enhancements

  • For British Eyes Only (Your command can be understood only by you and your intended target.)

Drawbacks

  • Monstrous (Possessing this Power causes a mutation that elicits a strong, negative social response from the average person in your setting. The mutation is visible even if you are wearing long sleeves, pants, and shoes. Maximum one per Contractor.)
    • Mutation - pure black eyes that leak black tears occasionally
  • Mage (Activating this Effect requires two consecutive Actions of Concentration. It involves intricate use of the body and voice. If interrupted during activation, the Effect fails. It is obvious you are preparing to activate an Effect during casting.)
    • Activation Ritual - Song
  • Traumatic (You must make a Trauma roll when you use this Effect. Its Difficulty cannot be reduced by any means.)

Parameters

Complexity: 2 ( Conditional commands (If X, then Y) ) Duration: 2 ( Outcome in minutes )
