Onerion

Effect

You weave a subtle web of magic over a prepared power of herbs and a sleepless owl’s droppings, and thereby influence the dreams of any who imbibe it. These should be crumbled into any drink and imbibed before the spell’s duration expires. Each preparation contains enough of the powder to treat one drink, with each additional SL allowing the caster to treat another. A creature becomes the subject of this spell on consuming the drink before the duration expires, with the effects only becoming apparent the next time they sleep.

When casting this spell, you may specify the type of dream you would like the subject to have the next time they sleep. This can be used to grant someone afflicted by recurring nightmares with a night spent in pleasant dreams, or you may choose to subject someone to a terrible nightmare. The details can be specified by you, or you may leave the target’s own subconscious to conjure up whatever pleasures or torments you wish. You may also use this spell to pass on specific messages, though how they are interpreted remains up to the subject.

This spell’s effects vary, and are purely psychological, though someone who experiences a nightmare may well find themselves afflicted by a Fatigued Condition the following day. The spell can be used to sow doubt, sooth a troubled mind, or even fake a prophecy appearing in a gullible subject’s dreams. This spell inflicts only a single dream the first time someone falls asleep after becoming affected by this spell.
