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 | |
---|---|
Syntax: | HYPNOTISE <target> |
Description: | 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 attempts will be hidden to your target, you should be mindful that there are abilities that allow you to detect intrusions upon the mind. You can read AB HYPNOSIS SUGGEST for further information. |
Suggest | |
---|---|
Syntax: | SUGGEST <target> <ability> |
Description: | 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. 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. |
Sleights | |
---|---|
Syntax: | SHADOW SLEIGHT <effect> <target> |
Description: | 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 - Cause the target to be unable to smoke for a short period. 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. Both void and weakvoid will have no effect while the target is under the active effects of hypnosis. |
Trigger | |
---|---|
Syntax: | SUGGEST <target> TRIGGER <word> |
Description: | 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. |
Marks | |
---|---|
Syntax: | SHADOW MARK <effect> <target> |
Description: | Place a mark of shadow upon another, providing they aren't protected by the fangbarrier 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. |
Analyse | |
---|---|
Syntax: | ANALYSE <player> |
Description: | ANALYSE ME
Using this ability, you will be able to sort through the subconscious mess of another player and see what hypnotic suggestions lie dormant there, if any. You cannot, of course, successfully analyse yourself. |
Cleanse | |
---|---|
Syntax: | CLEANSE <player> <affliction/ALL> |
Description: | With this ability, you may remove hypnotic suggestions from someone which have been implanted but
not yet triggered. |
Ethergaze | |
---|---|
Syntax: | This ability is passive. |
Description: | With experience you are now able to HYPNOTISE, SUGGEST, and SEAL from behind the veil of phase. You
will not however be able to activate the hypnosis without being on the same phase level as your target. Note that hypnotising from phase carries heightened risks, and a hypnosis attempt will be slightly easier to detect. |
Bulimia | |
---|---|
Syntax: | Bulimia will cause your target to immediately vomit up whatever they |
Description: | next eat. |
Eradicate | |
---|---|
Syntax: | SUGGEST <target> ERADICATE |
Description: | This powerful suggestion - more helpful than harmful - will allow you to convince the target to
eradicate a random mental affliction from their own mind. Look at HELP TYPES for more information on what is regarded as a mental affliction. |
Action | |
---|---|
Syntax: | SUGGEST <target> ACTION <command> |
Description: | With this ability, you are able to bend the mind of your target and force them to
act out your command. |
