When Selma activates Doctor’s Orders, she closes the distance with an eerie calm. As she speaks, her golden glasses catch the light unnaturally, gleaming with a brilliance that no earthly material should possess.
The air between her and the target seems to ripple faintly, as though reality itself is bending to listen.
For just a heartbeat, the target sees their own reflection in the lenses — warped by emotion, intensified into something impossible to ignore.
Observers will instantly know something unnatural is happening, even if they can’t quite explain what.
Doctor’s Orders is not simply persuasion.
It is the clinical weaponization of human emotion — the perfect merging of Selma’s medical mastery and her supernatural Gifts.
The glasses she wears are relics of another reality, tuned to the human soul rather than the human mind. Through whispered words and flashes of hypnotic gold, she can peel back the careful rationalizations people build around themselves, leaving only raw, unfiltered emotion.
Most never realize they've been tampered with. They just act — as if the choices were their own all along.
The legend of Doctor Whispers is whispered in fear and awe because of this: not that she controls minds, but that she convinces you to destroy yourself — gladly.

If you choose to use Chain of Screaming, your target interacts with any valid target, they must roll Self-Control or be swept up in the same emotion. New targets pass it on as well, and so on, with the remaining duration decreasing by half until the chain stops.
If any affected target takes or deals Damage, this Effect ends.
