Order Broken Imposed
Cost: 45m
Target: One creature
The perfect order has no room for the shattered virtues and wills of men. However, perfection can be sacrificed for the triumph of the Principle of Hierarchy, as was observed when she shattered three orbs from her body to leave a broken, cursed Creation behind to her conquerors. A mighty sorcerer can do the same to his enemies, breaking down their virtues to impose the hierarchy She Who Lives in Her Name desires.
The sorcerer tries to invoke the secret name of the Principle of Hierarchy and fails, invoking the remnants of her Essence to form an imperfect copy of one of the flame-filled orbs that form the Yozi's body. He then hurls the orb at the target, who is completely bound by the order and structure bound within. Unless the target can defend using a perfect mental defense against this attack, he immediately becomes a broken servant to the sorcerer. All of the Virtues of the victim immediately fall to and his Willpower to . This cannot bring down an Exalt's primary Virtue below so he is ineligible for the Great Curse. Furthermore, his Motivation is replaced with an Urge to "Serve the Sorcerer and His Superiors". A spirit with an Essence of 5+ or an Exalt can spend four points of temporary Willpower to resist a single command of the sorcerer. If the victim can resist seven commands, he can roll his (Essence + Integrity) against a difficulty of the sorcerer's (Essence). If he succeeds, his Urge is removed and his previous Motivation is restored. His Virtues and Willpower have to be increased through Experience, but his Conviction can never be brought up to again. Such is the scar the order of the Principle of Hierarchy leaves behind.
