Command Being

Command a simple edict directly into a target's mind. The target can resist with a Resolve Check; if they fail, they will feel compelled to follow the command.

The target must interpret the command as they would if issued by a trustworthy source. If the command goes fundamentally against their basic nature, such as self-harming, or doing something that violates their faith, they will get a CM bonus in their Resolve Check, depending on how strongly they would be opposed to it. Also, depending on the vagueness of the command, the target will also get a bonus to their contested Check.

The Caster must therefore balance simplicity with specificity. For example if you just command a being to "Die", since there is no direct action to achieve this command, and it likely goes against their nature, they will get a significant bonus to their Contested Check.
