Commandment

Divine Spell, Enchanting

APC: 2

SPC: 4

Range: 40 ft

Requirements: Verbal, Visual

Duration: 1 round (until the end of your next turn)

By issuing a command laced with divine power, you might force a creature to obey your dictates. Make a magic attack against a creature’s WILL. If you miss, you expend your AP as normal, but do not expend your SP.

If you hit, you can issue a one-word order that the creature must obey to the best of its ability on its next turn. While the creature must follow your command, it is aware that it is being magically influenced.

Example words and their effects are listed below, but you might issue any one-word command of your choice. The specific effects of words not listed here are up to the MC.

Concede: The creature must agree with your proposed course of action. (This does not cause enemies to surrender in a combat, but might end a social argument.)

Confess: The creature must confess to having committed some form of transgression (such as a crime or a sin), even if this is not true.

Drop: The creature must drop an item it is holding and cannot pick that item up for the duration of this spell.

Flee: The creature must use all of its available actions to move as far away from you as it can.

Halt: The creature does nothing on its turn.

Kneel: The creature must fall prone and take no further actions.

Renounce: The creature must verbally renounce its allegiance to a person or cause. (This has no legal or ongoing effect, but could damage a creature’s reputation.)
