Description
This powerful magic allows a caster to lay a long-term command upon a target. This spell is difficult and slow to cast and is usually used on an immobilized or coerced subject. The command is generally in contract form, and acts to force the target to complete or pursue a specific task, goal, or to modify behavior. It could be "deliver thing a to place b"; it could also be "don't kill innocents".
