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.

Note: {{{note}}}

Sleights Subtly manipulate shadow to bewilder foes
Syntax: SHADOW SLEIGHT <effect> <target>
Required:
Channels: {{{channels}}}
Shapes: {{{shapes}}}
Transitions: {{{transitions}}}
Attacks: {{{attacks}}}
Works against:
Cooldown:
Attune Effect: {{{attune}}}
Symbol: {{{symbol}}}
Details: Bend the shadows to perform your bidding. Sleights cannot be performed while you do not

possess shadow balance.

Effects

Dissipate - Knock the target off pill balance. Abrasion - Knock the target off poultice balance. Invasion - Knock the target off pipe balance. Blank - Gives the target amnesia, then once more later on. Void - Cause curatives to occasionally fail when used. Pall - Deal psychic damage based on afflictions from hypnosis.

Note: {{{note}}}

Trigger One mere word is all you need
Syntax: SUGGEST <target> TRIGGER <word>
Required:
Channels: {{{channels}}}
Shapes: {{{shapes}}}
Transitions: {{{transitions}}}
Attacks: {{{attacks}}}
Works against:
Cooldown:
Attune Effect: {{{attune}}}
Symbol: {{{symbol}}}
Details: This special suggestion will instill a trigger word into your opponent. By speaking this

word out loud after sealing your opponent, you will be able to trigger the hypnosis.

This offers no benefit over snapping your fingers in front of the target, however it does offer a different kind of satisfaction to the hypnotist.

Note: {{{note}}}

Shapes: {{{shapes}}}

defence. The mark will last indefinitely as long as they stand within magical darkness, otherwise it'll quickly fade.

Effects

Thorns - Causes them to bleed when they eat. Fatigue - Mental fatigue will slow their focusing down. Numbness - Numb skin will make the tree tattoo slower.

A target may only bear one mark at any time. Placing another will clear any previous marks.
