Humans are fickle creatures, changing desires with the day or the season. This Contract allows the character to direct a subject’s desires somewhat.
Prerequisites: Mantle (Spring) • or Court Goodwill (Spring) •••
Cost: 2 Glamour; add 1 Willpower for a supernatural subject
Dice Pool: Manipulation + Persuasion + Mantle (Spring) – subject’s Resolve ({Manipulation}+{Persuasion}+{Mantle Rating} – subject’s Resolve)
Action: Contested; resistance is reflexive.
Catch: The character is acting to make the subject desire her or is doing so to resolve a pledge.
Roll Results
Dramatic Failure: The target develops an active dislike for or aversion to the subject of the intended desire.
Failure: The subject’s desires do not change.
Success: The subject’s desires change in a manner of the character’s choosing. See the suggested modifiers list that follows for guidelines on how a character may affect the target. The change lasts for one day per success rolled, though natural interaction may be able to prolong the desire beyond the point where the supernatural effect ends.
Exceptional Success: The change is instead permanent. The inflicted desires remain until the character chooses to release them, and they may then become natural.
