Effect
Touch a target. Implant a single idea, image, or emotion into their subconscious. They will dream about it during their next Long Rest. The dream feels meaningful and personal — the target is inclined to act on it, though they are not compelled.
Steps
+1 additional dream element per Step (more complex scenarios).
Special
No Resist at the time of implantation. During the dream, the target may make ECHO + Insight (TN 13) to realize the dream was planted.
This is the Mindweaver’s primary tool for long-term manipulation. A Consortium official who dreams about a specific location every night for a week will eventually investigate. A guard who dreams about his family being in danger will request a transfer. The effect is subtle, deniable, and terrifyingly effective over time.
