**Oblations:**

### First: Attainment Name

Prerequisites: Mind 1

*Mental Scan (Reach: Casting Time):*
Instant action to get a number of questions about the subjects mental or emotional state equal to their Mind dots minus the target's composure. The answers to which are read from their body language and subconsious telegraphing.

*Optional Arcanum: Space 1*

*Correspondence (Reach: Casting Time):*

With a moment's study a Bearer may get a read on a subject's sympathetic connections. They unveil up to their Space dots in connections, beginning with their oldest and strongest.

### Second: Attainment Name

Prerequisites: Mind 2

*Alter Mental Pattern (Reach: Casting Time):*

With a moment's effort, the Bearer can prepare themselves to address an individual's specific psychological weaknesses in conversation, choosing just the right phrasing and delivery to make them believe any lie they choose. Add the Bearer's Mind dots as a bonus on their next Subterfuge roll against the target.

*Optional Arcanum: Space 2*

*Isolation (Reach: Casting Time, Advanced Duration):*

By conversing with a target, the Bearer may subtly poison their impression of others and enhance any lingering sense of doubt or paranoia within them. Targets must have a Composure equal to or lower than the Voice’s Space dots and the effect lasts for 24 hours after activation. The bearer need not touch the target, but they must be close enough to whisper to the individual.

### Third: Attainment Name

Prerequisites: Mind 3

*Emotional Urging (Reach: Casting Time, Sensory Range):*

When speaking with someone the Bearer may automatically open or close one door of the subjects in regards to the topic of conversation provided they have a Mind rating higher than the target's Composure. This can be used to convince them to agree with the Bearer's interpretation of events, or to block the maneuvering of another as the user chooses. The normal social skills of the bearer can then be used to open additional doors as normal.

*Optional Arcanum: Space 3*

*Special (Reach: Remote Range):*

When speaking with a target live by electronic means, the Bearer may spend a point of mana to use their third attainment through that connection. They may perform this on a target only if their sympathetic connection to them has a Withstand rating of less than their Space dots.

### Fourth: Attainment Name

Prerequisites: Mind 4

*Psychic Domination (Reach: Advanced Duration, Casting Time, Sensory Range):*

By delivering a perfectly spoken command, the Bearer may bypass a subjects conscious volition and impose their will upon their subconscious directly. The command may be relatively complex, but the subject will resist any order that is obviously harmful to themselves. This effect will work on any target whose Resolve is less than the Bearer's Mind dots, and persists for up to one week. Target's are obviously aware that the words came from the Bearer, and may realise they contain a compulsion logically, but are not instinctively made aware of this.

*Optional Arcanum: Space 4*

*Web-Weaver (Reach: Casting Time):*

With effort a Bearer can call to mind the most minute details about anyone they have spoken with, bolstering their sympathetic connection to that individual By their Space dots minus the target's Composure in levels. This effect lasts for 3 turns.

### Fifth: Attainment Name

Prerequisites: Mind 5

*Read the Depths (Reach: Advanced Duration, Modify Memories):*

Over the course of a full conversation the Bearer may selectively alter a target's memories by expending a point of mana. Target's with a Resolve equal to or less than the Bearer's Mind dots have one memory modified upon completion of the conversation. By addressing a group, the Bearer may choose to simultaneously affect up to four individuals with a single activation of this attainment, though the same modification must be made to all affected people.

*Optional Arcanum: Space 5*

*Perfect Sympathy (Reach: Casting Time, Advanced Duration):*

With their interpersonal intuition honed to a razor's edge, the Bearer may focus on any of their Strong sympathetic connections to make them the target of their sublime insight. They gain 8-Again on all actions against their target, and the Rote quality on a number of rolls made against them equal to their Space dots. This effect lasts for the scene.
