Hypnotism
A Sathar can hypnotize a character by talking to him in a non-combat situation. This ability is similar to the Puppet spell/power. The character must make an opposed Spirit roll versus the Sathar’s Spirit; if the character fails, he is hypnotized and will follow simple commands from the Sathar. If the Sathar succeeds with a raise or higher, the Sathar may command the character to attack allies and even commit suicide (however suicide allows a second opposed roll).
A hypnotized character will think the Sathar is his friend, and will want to cooperate with it. He will see things the way the Sathar describes them, if his other senses do not contradict what theSathar tells him.
For example, a character would not believe that a fire was a pool of water. The duration of the hypnotism is 3 rounds with a success and a further 3 rounds for each raise if used for acombat situation. In a non combat situation, a Sathar can command a hypnotized person to do something at a specific time, and to forget that he has been hypnotized until that time. For example,a character could be commanded to turn off a security system at midnight.
