The caster draws up to her full height, and her appearance becomes fearful as she commands the targeted creature to obey her or writhe in agony. A malicious, dark energy darts from her outstretched hands to strike at the target, who is then entitled to a Will save. A successful save at this juncture negates all further effects.
Should the subject fail, they look on requests that the caster makes in a most favorable manner. Should the caster request something that the target would not usually do, he can choose not to do so, but must immediately make a Fortitude save at the original DC or take 4 points of Constitution damage and suffer such intense pain that he takes a –4 penalty on attack rolls, checks and saving throws. A successful Fortitude save halves the damage and the penalty. The pain effect continues until the request has been agreed to, and the target begins to undertake activity to fulfill the request.
Powerful devils have been known to use this spell to deliberately condition captors to undertake evil tasks of their own free will, and thus pervert any goodness the captor may have had. In many cases, this scenario pleases the devil more than simply quashing the subject’s will.
This spell has been used so extensively by the personal servants of Asmodeus that many consider him to be the author of this dread magick.
XP Cost: 5,000 XP.
