Phantasmagoria ⸻ Ob 4-10 ⸻ 5 Actions

Shadows, dreams, and phantasms come at the witch's beck and call and mold to her wit.

The size, scope, sound, depth, texture, and detail of the vision depend on the intent of the spell: Tiny palm-sized illusions = Ob 4; Small animal-sized illusions = Ob 5; Diminutive child-sized illusions = Ob 6; Middling man-sized illusions = Ob 7; Massive horse-sized illusions = Ob 8; Gigantic monstrous illusions = Ob 9; Colossal whale-sized illusions = Ob 10. To penetrate the illusion, an opposing character must have reason to suspect an illusion is taking place—either by contradiction or by instinct—and then pass a Perception test at an Ob equal to your current Will. The illusion cannot cause direct harm.

Power of Suggestion ⸻ Ob [Target’s Will] ⸻ 5 Actions

Sorcery renders supple the words and tongue of the magician.

Using this spell, you use a magically empowered voice on your target, offering that your target do something seemingly normal or mundane. You may not command them to do anything which goes against their instincts, and so you can’t force them to do anything too out of the ordinary. If the spell is successfully cast, then the victim is persuaded to follow your advice. The request must be completed while the spell sustained, and the target must stay within your presence while they perform the action. Afterwards the suggestion will lose importance to them, and they will move on; not necessarily remembering that they were mind-controlled unless someone else tells them they were. The effect is obvious to all other witnesses, and if the spell fails then the target knows what you just tried to do too.
