MET LARP SRD
(2013 BNS MET System)
Ensnared Mind
Description
Manipulating external shadows is a simple trick, but a true master of the Abyss can find and manipulate even the inside of the mind. Using this ritual, you are able to create an effective barrier within your target’s head, choosing what they see, and affecting what they believe. Friend and foe merge into one, creating a haze of confusion.
1 Blood
System
To enact this ritual, focus on your target while spending a point of Blood and burning a piece of paper with her name written on it, storing the embers in a container that does not allow light inside. Initiate an opposed challenge against your target. If you succeed, you create an object imbued with the power of Ensnared Mind. Later, you may open the container and scatter the embers to the winds by spending a simple action. If your target is within 1 mile, she becomes disoriented and fleetingly trapped within her darkest memories causing her to overlay her past with her present and making it difficult for her to determine which is which. For the next hour, your target is unable to determine friend versus foe and she cannot relent to the powers of others and others cannot relent to the power that she employs. In addition, if a power requires her to designate allies, she may not do. She may still benefit from the Assist Defender combat maneuver, but she cannot benefit from Assist Attacker, and is unable to use either Assist Attacker or Defender combat maneuvers herself.
The embers will last for one night. You may only have a single active instance of this ritual at a time.
