Effect
Give the target within Near range a single instruction of up to one sentence. The instruction must be something the target could rationalize as reasonable — “Drop your weapon,” “Walk outside,” “Tell me who hired you.”
The target carries out the instruction on their next turn.
Resist
ECHO + Focus vs. your Channeling Sum negates. Targets ordered to do something directly harmful to themselves or their closest allies gain +4 to the resist roll (per the Suicide Limit’s softer-touch application at R2).
Steps
+1 additional instruction per Step (each requiring separate rationalization).
Special
After the instruction is carried out, the target remembers doing it but may not understand why. They can rationalize it (“I just felt like I should put the gun down”) or they can suspect manipulation (Insight TN = your Channeling Sum to confirm suspicion).
