Effect You present the target with a deal they deeply want (gleaned from Sense Desire or RP). Declare aloud a specific offer and request ("I can give you the love you were denied... if you betray your brother"). The target must be capable of understanding the bargain. If the target accepts, they are placed under a magical Geas:
  • They are compelled to fulfill the terms of your request.
  • They cannot speak of the deal to others or act directly against it.
  • If they are forcibly prevented from performing the chosen task, they begin to suffer from Curse of Agony and may not sleep until they resume their task or the duration expires.

If you fail to fulfill your end of the bargain, the Geas ends immediately, and the target becomes immune to your spells and effects for 24 hours.

The geas cannot compel obviously suicidal or nonsensical actions (e.g., "kill yourself" or "become a horse"), but it can demand betrayal, cruelty, or actions against moral code, so long as they are framed in the context of the target’s desire.

A target may resist the deal before it is sealed with a Mental Resistance vs. Channeling + Willpower + Desire Rank roll. On a success, they recognize the temptation for what it is and are unaffected. If they fail, they feel compelled to accept unless there is a very strong RP reason otherwise.

Only one Geas from Irresistible Offer may be active at a time.
