    Range: Unlimited.
    Duration: Special.
 
    You can take control of any single fish – or of one square yard of a swarm of smaller fish. The victim obeys your every command, effectively gaining the Reprogrammable disadvantage with you as the master. Only fish with a racial IQ of 1-5 or less can be affected, though the GM may make exceptions for fish with IQ 6 and Bestial. In addition to range penalties, your casting roll is at -1 for each other animal currently under your control. If you tie, nothing happens, but if you lose the creature is immune to you for 24 hours and can sense your attempted coercion; the GM will make a new reaction roll at -2, using the worse of its existing or new reaction.
    This spell has an indefinite duration if you take constant Concentrate maneuvers to keep it active (and pay the usual 1 FP per minute). Once you stop concentrating, it continues to last for a fixed duration (at no FP cost) in minutes equal to the margin by which you won the initial Quick Contest. If you lose consciousness, the spell ends immediately.
    Statistics: Mind Control (Accessibility, Fish only, -50%; Sorcery, -15%) [18].
