Drunkenness

Keywords: Resisted (Will).

Full Cost: 28 points or 29 points.

You intoxicate the subject for 3 minutes. The basic (28-point) version makes the subject tipsy. He gets -1 to DX and IQ, and -2 to self-control rolls except those to resist Cowardice. Reduce Shyness by one level, if he has it. The improved (29-point) version makes the subject drunk. He gets -2 to DX and IQ, and -4 to self-control rolls except those to resist Cowardice. Reduce Shyness by two levels, if he has it. This spell can only affect sapient (IQ 6+) beings.

Madness

Keywords: Resisted (Will).

Full Cost: 10 points.

Casting Roll: IQ. Use IQ (again) or Brainwashing to add the disadvantages.

Range: Unlimited.

Duration: Three days.

You can cause the subject to temporarily go insane, adding him the appropriate disadvantages (for example, Berserk, Bestial, Chronic Depression, Confused, Delusions, Flashbacks, Paranoia, Phantom Voices, Phobia, etc.). This spell can only affect sapient beings. If the subject is willing, no resistance roll is needed. If not, he resists with Will and must be completely immobilized or otherwise under your control while you cast the spell. Successful casting gets you inside of his head. You must then win a second Quick Contest of IQ vs. Will – or make another unopposed IQ roll, for a willing subject. You may substitute Brainwashing for IQ, if better. You are at -1 per full -5 points of disadvantages applied.

Statistics: Mind Control (Accessibility, Only on sapient beings, -10%; Accessibility, Only to cause insanity, -20%; Conditioning Only, -50%; Fixed Duration, +0%; Sorcery, -15%) [10].
