If the caster beats the target by three or more net successes the target suffers a two-dice penalty for about a half hour and then an one-die penalty for an hour.   Compared to other hex spells, Befuddlement is actually pleasant by comparison.

Second Circle Enchantment Spells

    Burst of Pain: Attack inflicts horrible pain on one subject. Resisted with Willpower.

If they match or beat the caster's successe they are unaffected by the spell. I they win by three net successes they recognize a magical effect in play. If circumstances are really suspicious, the would be onlookers roll Willpower 6 like if say if the caster has bloody hands near a crime scene or a caster is at a formal banquet in filthy rags.   This is not mind control or hypnosis, it just means that everything the caster says and does will be taken in the best possible light. Social rolls against affect individuals are at -1 difficulty.   For example, an affected individual might not buy the horse that the caster is offering for sale, but the subject will not suspect that the subject is offloading a stolen horse despite the suspiciously low price at an unusual selling venue.   For another example, it doesn't mean a subject will automatically sleep with the caster, but it does mean will interpret a fishy seduction attempt as genuine romantic interest with no ulterior motives.   For a third example, if the guards catch the caster somewhere she is not allowed, they aren't going to give a free pass a wander around, but they will escort her out politely and gently as if this was a harmless misunderstanding.   This spell can be cast on subject other than caster at +1 difficulty.   Note this spell has been developed with very subtle incantation and somatic gestures. Casting it without verbal or somantic components bestows a +1 penalty rather than the usual +2 penalty. If the character has the Practiced Silent or Still Caster Merit, the difficulty penalty is removed entirely. Appearance Persistent     Heroism (Iron Fist): One target per two successes (round up) gains one temporary die of all non-magical abilities per scene. Charisma Spread     Luminescence: Caster glows brighly for an hour per success. This can be cast on willing subjects other than the caster for +1 difficulty.

It also has been used by parents to keep track of their wandering children. It has been used by military commanders to make signals. Appearance Persistent     Tongues (Amplify Voice): Speak or read any language unless it’s a coded or ciphered. The level of successes determines how good the communication is. One success is along the lines of “Me friend, me come in peace” whereas five successes allows the caster to speak and convey complex idioms and metaphors. Intelligence Persistent     Suggestion (Compulsion) : Suggestion implants an idea in the subject's mind, resisted with Willpower difficulty 5-9 based on how plausible the suggested thought is   "These aren't the droids you are looking for" would be difficulty 7" to resist, the statement sounds reasonable but it does counteract the Stormtrooper's direct orders to search all droids).   While less powerful than other Enchantment mind powers, but Suggestion has the advantage of the suggestion having more staying power after the spell is completed and being far less likely to tip off the target that their mind was bended. Wits Instant     Trackless Party (Fast Movement): The caster can make a party not leave footprints in dirt, snow, or leaves for about three hours. There are similar spells in Plant theurgy and arcane Transmutation that physically destroy or remove tracks. This spell does not remove tracks, it prevents tracks from forming in the first place. It also prevents the party from leaving a scent trail for dogs and the like but it doesn't remove scents that are already there.   Each success covers two humans on foot, one horse with a rider or one human with a handcart. Two successes is needed for a small horse drawn wagon, and three successes is needed for a large carriage.   Note, this spell only obscures physical signs of passage. It actually leaves a residual magical trail that someone with Detect Magic could potentially follow, at least for a little while. Wits Spread
