Requirements:<\/span\/span> Tier 3<\/p>\n

Syntax:<\/span> Brand (person) (location) (message)
Example: Brand John neck a flaming skull
Appearance: He has a symbol of a flaming skull on his neck.<\/p>\n

Branding is the go to method of choice for more powerful supernaturals to
keep control over less powerful beings and devoted humans. The power
conveys an ability to press their hand against someone’s exposed skin and
leave a permanent mark of their symbol there which will appear as ‘He\/She
has a symbol of (message) on his\/her (location)’<\/p>\n

It costs the user some amount of life force, generally around 20% for
branding someone of equal power level to yourself.
There is a cooldown of several weeks between branding people.<\/p>\n

When a victim is branded any compulsions, body compulsions, triggered
instructions or triggered body instructions will become sealed in and will
never fade until the brand is removed. Triggered instructions that are
sealed will fade when satiated, but will simply return again once the
trigger occurs once more.<\/p>\n

Syntax:<\/span> Brand phantom (target) (sensation)
This command uses the brand link to send one of a selection of unpleasant
sensations to a body part of your victim. Useful as an easy access tool for
disciplining your property.<\/p>\n

Syntax:<\/span> Brand incapacitate (target)
This command sends a surge of pain along the brand link to render your
target temporarily insensible in order to easily recapture property that’s
trying to flee.<\/p>\n

Syntax:<\/span> Brand listen\/brand listen stop
For about 0. 1% of your life force this command allows you to enter a
state in which you can hear everything any one of your branded can hear.
Useful for checking on your property to ensure loyalty.<\/p>\n

Syntax:<\/span> Brand watch\/brand watch stop
For the truly paranoid human owner, for 2.5% of your life force you can
enter an even deeper state of observation where you also see what they are
doing.<\/p>\n

Syntax:<\/span> Brand remove(target)
Performed in a magical workshop this command allows someone to be
released from a mystical branding. It costs $15, 000 in resources if done
immediately, but the longer the person has had the brand the further the
cost reduces, down to a minimum of $500 at a rate of $10 per
hour, logged in or out.<\/p>\n

Branding someone costs around 300 favor, depending on your tier and the victim’s tier. Removing a brand costs between 50 and 1000 favor, depending on how long it has been in place, with long lasting brands cheaper to remove.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
