Effect You Alter Form into the target's most desired being; an idealized form conjured from their subconscious fantasies. This form may resemble a long-lost lover, divine being, aspirational mentor, or something more primal and deeply personal. Upon casting, the target must roll Mental Resistance vs. your Channeling + Charisma + Desire Rank. On failure:
  • You gain the effects of a Targetted Glamour granting a +3-enhancement bonus to Charisma against the target. This does not count as a use of Glamour and will not negate or interfere with use of that spell.
  • The target treats you as a figure of deep personal significance (Disposition becomes Ally).
  • You gain +4d10 on all social rolls made against them.
  • The target cannot bring themselves to attack you, even under duress.
  • They suffer –4 to Resistance checks against your mind-affecting spells or seduction effects for the duration.
  • You may mirror a combat or social ability the target possesses (e.g., any Skill but not magical effects) for 1 round, as your magical form temporarily "borrows" it from their imagination.

If they are currently under Velvet Chains or Irresistible Offer, you may treat any failed command resistance as an automatic success.

Allies attempting to convince the target you're an impostor suffer –5 to Diplomacy Skill or Sense Motive Skill rolls.
