Threat Display
Cian's face seemed to harden as he stepped in closer to the newcomer. There was an almost predatory gleam to his eyes, and his anger was palpable to all in the room.
"You will NEVER, NEVER refer to her in such terms in my hearing again! AM I UNDERSTOOD!?"
The underclassman nodded meekly, and then fled the room. It was in that moment that I first glimpsed the beast that raged beneath our classmate's skin.
Effect
Body 3 / Mind 2. Its a subtle physical transformation meant to make the caster look a little bigger, a little broader, and add a menacing gleam to their eyes. There may be a slight musk evident to those inclined to find the caster desirable. This is combined with a single emotional impulse of fear- specifically that of predator vs prey, alpha vs submissive.
The whole point of this is a bit of prestidigitation to add die or reduce difficulties of an immediately following Intimidation roll.
Side/Secondary Effects
A botch would leave the caster seeming vulnerable and weak. A critical success might, at GM's discretion, leave a lasting impression on someone on the receiving end of this.
