This focused spell will cause the target to fall asleep. To cast, the mage must have a small amount of sand, which she rubs between her fingers as she points at the target. Compare the Effect Value of the spell to the target’s Mind or willpower and read the Result Points on the Power Push table. If the push plus the result modifier of 7 is greater than the target’s Mind, the spell takes effect. The sleep induced by the spell is a natural sleep; the target may well remain asleep after the spell’s duration has elapsed. If the target has reason to wake up before the duration has elapsed (a loud noise, being shaken, etc.), they will do so, but the spell will immediately take effect again; however, if the target has reason to want to remain alert, they may make active willpower totals against the Effect Value.
