oh yeah i think he's still wrestling my corpse this isn't my clone room whatever let's talk about gift of gab ooh it's a spell created by james dark magic of that kink and the new hampshire dark magics uh before we go on i have done a little freelance fracking so i've received money from them but not in a few years and not for this okay so the spell essentially you can replace whatever you said in the last six seconds with whatever you say is the verbal component of the spell you can do it to as many targets as you want that are within five feet of you now what's interesting is gift of gab has no save and it's not a charm spell it just happens unfortunately six seconds and five feet is hardly enough to undo most like verbal fuck-ups unless they're planned uh which isn't really a fuck-up also it's worth mentioning that when you cast it you pay royalty fees uh two gold coins to act inc or jim himself i'm not really sure the spell is generally framed as something to use to backpedal but i think it's actually a more useful spell in games where you're dealing with different factions and you want the appearance of playing open cards but actually need to hold back information from certain people if you start thinking about it there are tons of neat little uses for the spell and the fact that there's no fail condition except maybe dispel magic at the moment of casting or silence just before it's cast means that it's way less dice dependent than most information distortion spells i gotta say i i have a lot of questions about the spell though primarily how does the target perceive the passage of time in the order of operations in a conversation take altruisus for example how does he remember that first interaction does he feel like he misheard me and then i corrected him and then he just buys it or does he think i said the second thing first and then was silent or said the second thing twice i don't know there's lots of weird edge case questions that immediately leap out but all in all i think it's uh one of the more reliable and interesting information distortion spells out there all right thanks for watching this animated spell book brought to you by paid sponsorship from hitpoint press's humblewood campaign setting it's a rad setting with bird people new monsters news stories items and even a few free adventures to check out the wake rooms fury and the descent into the dark links in the description and i'll see you soon
