This spell allows the mage to temporarily take over and control the speech centers of a subject - no matter whether he is conscious or unconscious, asleep or awake - to say whatever the mage wants him to say, or to remain completely silent. Ventriloquism gives the mage no access to the subjects’ thoughts, memory or sensory apparatus. Nor does it give him control over the subject’s movements. The effects last for as long as the mage continues to concentrate (may not move or perform any other tasks) to a maximum of 2 rounds per rank.
This spell cannot be targeted at someone protected by a Mind Cloak or similar magic. |
