Hypnosis (skill)

It has long been known that our subconscious mind is a powerful force and that it can be influenced in mysterious ways, but until a forgotten Syssin discovered the principles of Hypnosis, there was no way to use it.

Hypnotise	Begin the process of hypnosis
Syntax:	HYPNOTISE <target>
Required:
Channels:	{{{channels}}}
Shapes:	{{{shapes}}}
Transitions:	{{{transitions}}}
Attacks:	{{{attacks}}}
Works against:	Players only
Cooldown:
Attune Effect:	{{{attune}}}
Symbol:	{{{symbol}}}
Details:	This ability will allow you to begin the process of hypnotism. Once you have your target in a vulnerable state, you will be able to implant suggestions within his mind. If you leave the location of your target before they have been sealed, then suggestions will slowly begin to fall off the target until none remain. while your hypnosis attempt will generally be hidden to your target, an opponent who is vigilant will be able to detect your intrusion upon his or her mind. You can read AB HYPNOSIS SUGGEST for how to implant suggestions after hypnotising them.
Note:	{{{note}}}

Suggest	Implant a victim with a suggestion
Syntax:	SUGGEST <target> <ability>
Required:
Channels:	{{{channels}}}
Shapes:	{{{shapes}}}
Transitions:	{{{transitions}}}
Attacks:	{{{attacks}}}
Works against:
Cooldown:
Attune Effect:	{{{attune}}}
Symbol:	{{{symbol}}}
Details:	SEAL <target> <3-60 seconds> SNAP <target> This ability allows you to implant various suggestions within the mind of your target, providing they are already hypnotised. You may use SUGGEST and SEAL while you are off balance. Once you have implanted all the suggestions that you wish, you can then seal the target, and then snap your fingers at them to activate the hypnosis. Depending on the timer you set when you sealed their mind, it will take a few moments for the hypnosis to begin. This will cycle them through all the suggestions you have made, starting from your first suggestion, and then finally end once there are none left. Most abilities within Hypnosis will not have associated help files with them. You can learn what each affliction does by using AFFLICT <ability> SHOW. There are still a few however that do, and they are: Amnesia, Carefree, Action, Eradicate, and Ebbing.
