Range Hearing, Verbal
Area 1 Target
Duration 1 hour
Casting Verbal, Somatic
Action Standard
Cost 1 Mana
Effect A successful Casting roll vs. the target's Mental Magical Resistance allows the caster to influence the actions of the target creature by suggesting a course of activity (limited to a sentence or two). The suggestion must be worded in such a manner as to make the activity sound reasonable; asking the target to do some obviously harmful act automatically negates the effect of the spell. A very reasonable suggestion causes the save to be made with a penalty to the target's resistance (such as a -1 or a -2) at the Storyteller's discretion.

The suggested course of activity can continue for up to 1 hour, however, if the Suggestion can be completed in a shorter time, the spell ends when the subject finishes its suggested task. The caster can instead specify conditions that will trigger a special activity during the duration. If the condition is not met before the spell duration expires, the activity is not performed.
