=== Control Emotions ===
 
Basic Action
 
 
Allows you to foster a desired emotion in any thinking being. The love spell is the most famous example of this type. You may also specify the object of the emotion, which need not be another thinking being. For example, you could inspire hatred of a truck or lust to own a jewel. Make an opposed [[Charm (Action)|Charm]] roll.
 
Any interaction using this emotion (including repeated use of this power) [[Stunt_(Action)#Gaining_Advantage|Gains an Advantage]]. If the Outcome exceeds the target's [[Mind (Action)|Mind]], he cannot control his emotions and immediately acts on them, a kind of [[Stunt_(Action)#Setback|Setback]].
 
 
''The advantage of this over a regular stunt is that it allows more precise control.''
