The mage exerts gross bodily control
over human beings. As per the Life 4
Animal Minion spell, p. 188. The
mage controls the affected creature
like a marionette.
Unlike an animal, a human cannot be made to do anything that endangers
his survival or that might harm him. Also, if he is made to do something
that is radically against his beliefs (such as harm his lover), a fresh contested
and reflexive Resolve + Gnosis roll is made to resist the command (his successes
must exceed the spell’s Potency).
Silver Ladder Rote: Flesh Puppet
- Dice Pool: Manipulate + Presuasion + Life vs Resolve + Gnosis
With this magic, even the mightiest
foe can be turned to the service of a
Ladder mage. Guardians of the Veil
also use a version of this rote to control
the actions of others when needed.
