Depends on the receiver and whether they can handle it as physical or energy.

After all, it can get pretty difficult to get Mina to shut up.

From what I recall of that system, that was their skill progression system. There was no other way to improve.

It's just dirty from her rolling around in the dirt.

“Sorry to keep you waiting, Kris. I, ah, had an imp get loose in my supply cabinet.” “Does that often happen?” “Thankfully, no,” Adalene responded. “This was a case of an uninvited guest.” Pulling her braided long hair over her shoulder, she made herself comfortable behind her desk. “So, what can I help you with?” “I am interested in the long-term effects of applied magic. Particularly in the area of mind control or emotion control.” Adalene thought for a moment. “That's a rather broad subject. It is generally known as Compulsion. What is your interest?” Adalene asked. “I had dinner with an old friend the other night and some of his reactions, his mannerisms, made me wonder if maybe he had been subject to something similar.” “I see.” Reaching across her desk, Adalene picked up a small crystal orb from its stand. It fit comfortably in her hand. Unconsciously, she began to roll it across her palm with her thumb. “At its extreme effects, you have Domination. The adept, the caster, doesn't care what harm they may be doing to their victim. The victim will do as they are told for as long as the spell lasts.” Nodding in understanding, Kris said, “Which can be how long?” Shrugging, Adalene said, “It varies depending on the adepts wishes. It could be a moment, say long enough for the victim to do one simple task defined by any parameters the adept set up. If the adept were interested in getting money, they dominate a teller with the parameter of 'I give you a piece of paper and in exchange, you give me all the twenties out of your cash drawer'. Then, the next day, week, what have you, the adept visits the bank when the teller is working, hands her a blank deposit slip, and she cleans the twenties out of her drawer and hands it to him with a smile. And most likely completely forgets about the adept at that point. “Or it can be permanent. Lasting until the victim dies. “Would you like something to drink? Tea, perhaps?” “No, thank you. I'm fine,” Kris replied with a smile. “So, you have a dominator who uses their victim for whatever purpose. What about if it isn't that extreme? What if, say, a love potion. Can it be that a person is programmed in some manner to love one specific person? Or to avoid one specific person?” Shifting the orb, Adalene began rolling it between the palms of her hands. “An adept who has experience will generally nudge their victim in the direction they wish. If they that person to see, fall in love with a specific person, then it is usually a two-part spell. To use a situation in which you have some knowledge when Arkayne cast his spell on Jason, he also cast a similar spell on Leah.” “Which is about what Arkayne admitted to before he passed. See, this the part where I'm curious since you brought up Jason. When Jason was with Leah, everything was great. They got along. They made each other happy. But before they actually met, Jason seemed to be fixated on her. He would do sketches of her almost constantly. Almost like he was obsessed with her.” Adalene frowned. “That wouldn't be uncommon. After all, people that fall in love naturally have a kind of obsession with the other person. You have a couple starting to date, and they call in sick to work so that they can spend a day together. Every passing thought tends to be of the other person.” “And afterward, Jason went into depression. Which, when a relationship ends, isn't uncommon either. What about the part of avoiding another person?” “Generally, not that much harder to do. If the person to be avoided naturally has contact with the victim, then it requires a delicate touch. A balance of keeping the victim acting naturally towards that person and not going so far as treating them like a pariah. On top of that, then there may be secondary influences to consider. Friends, associates, etc. that might normally want to see those individuals closer might be targeted by the adept to run interference to help keep them apart.” Kris frowned.

Hero doesn't do absolutes.

Shepherd Book used to tell me, "If you can't do somethin' smart... do somethin' right."

Love is like a butterfly As soft and gentle as a sigh The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings Love makes your heart feel strange inside It flutters like soft wings in flight Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing I feel it when you're with me It happens when you kiss me That rare and gentle feeling that I feel inside Your touch is soft and gentle Your kiss is warm and tender Whenever I am with you I think of butterflies Love is like a butterfly The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings Love makes your heart feel strange inside It flutters like soft wings in flight Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing Your laughter brings me sunshine Everyday is spring time And I am only happy when you are by my side How precious is this love we share How very precious, sweet and rare Together we belong like daffodils and butterflies Love is like a butterfly As soft and gentle as a sigh The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings Love makes your heart feel strange inside It flutters like soft wings in flight Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing

Pretty sure his marker would also read "Anthony Stark"

Apparently, it is doing well in the theaters.

Currently, he pops up from time to time on the Neverwinter forums.

Do you, by any chance, happen to know where Mr. Garibaldi might be?

No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again. Sometimes I just want it to stay saved! You know, for a little bit? I feel like the maid; I just cleaned up this mess! Can we keep it clean for... for ten minutes!

If you've got love in your sights Watch out, love bites When you make love, do you look in your mirror? Who do you think of? Does he look like me? Do you tell lies? And say that it's forever?
