Dread
Syntax:/u>/ithe current point in time. It will appear in the form of:
You feel (degree)ly negatively preoccupied with the prospect of (thing).
And any demonborn will see.
You (degree) want to manifest (person)’s dread of (thing).
This command represents the ability of those with demonic empathic abilities
to intuitively sense the things that will best illicit suffering in others.
Demonborn are not typically aware of the exact details of what someone is
dreading, it is not mind reading, but they can pick up the general themes and
ideas behind it.
What a player chooses for the dread command and their level does not represent
what they character most fears or dreads generally, rather whatever it is most
currently on their mind which makes it heavily influenced by the situation and
circumstances. It is also often heavily influenced by their current train of
thought, for instance someone mentions getting up early tomorrow, which makes
them think about something they have to do at work tomorrow, which makes them
start dreading being told off by their boss. This can at times be a little
confusing for a demonborn who’d have no idea why they’re starting to feel like
it’d be a good idea to put on a suit and scold this person.
Skilled demonborn interrogators work hard to try and control and influence the
train of thought of their targets in order to more usefully use this sense to
obtain valuable information or expose people’s weaknesses.
