False Realization

Manipulation [Mental]
Type: Mental
Range: LOS
Duration: Sustained
Drain: F-2

This spell causes the target to come to the mental realization that whatever they're thinking at the time is important in some way and should be followed through with. The effects are unpredictable because the spell caster is never perfectly sure what the target is thinking of at the time the spell is cast. Only one success is necessary for the spell to work, additional successes simply elevate the level of conviction and increase the disorientating effect the spell has once it is dropped.

Example Of Use:

Jill magician is being chased by a gang member and is hiding behind a dumpster but still has LOS to the target. Jill waits until the gang member looks down another alley and, assuming the gang member probably is thinking that's where she went, she casts the spell and succeeds with 2 successes while the ganger achieves none on his resistance roll. The gang member says to himself "That IS where she went!" and takes off going the wrong way. Of course this also means that the gang member is now out of Jill's LOS and the spell has been broken but, since she got 2 successes, it will take him a moment to realize that he has no idea why he has chosen this path hopefully giving Jill time to escape.

Rubberband

Manipulation [Environmental, Area]
Type: Physical
Range: LOS
Duration: Sustained
Drain: F-1

Similar to a barrier spell, Rubberband sets up an invisible wall or dome with elastic qualities against living targets only. As a target encounters the barrier they are slowed and have the sensation that something they can't feel is pushing them back. In order to penetrate the barrier the target engages in an opposed test pitting their strength against the spell's effects. If this test comes out in their favor, they bust through. If it doesn't they're snapped backwards a number of meters equal to their strength minus the net successes the casting generated while the target was trying to enter. Their strength minus the wall's successes indicates the number of meters the target penetrated before getting snapped back if they failed and the net successes achieved by the target indicates the number of meters they felt the wall's effects before breaking through if they succeeded.

Example Of Use:

This time Jill is being chased by an entire gang and decides to cast a Rubberband spell with a force of 5 to slow them down. She successfully casts it, getting her 4 net successes, and the gang members suddenly notice that they're not moving as fast as they're used to. Three back off without trying to get through but two more decide to give it a try. The first one rolls 2 successes with his body of 5 but the not enough to exceed Jill's successes meaning that he A: Entered 4 (Strength - Spellcater's Net Successes) meters before getting snapped back and B: Flew 4 meters in the opposite direction when he failed.

Now the second gang member gives it a try and with his strength of 7 achieves 5 successes against Jill's 4. This means he felt the walls effects for 6 meters (Strength - Target's Net Successes) meters before breaking through.
