With this power, an Oberloch is able to reduce a
subject’s mental acuity to that of a common animal’s.
The victim’s higher brain functions give way to base,
feral needs (i.e., the reptilian urges of food, sex, sleep
and shelter). In some cases, a subject can even be made
to manifest bestial features, further degrading identity.
The Oberloch can suggest a type of animal to the subject,
but the influence is not necessarily followed. A victim
could react based on the kind of animal to which he
feels most connection. How an animal behaves is also
open to interpretation. (People might have different opinions
on how a hog acts, for example.)
