Tempt is a PK-checked[1], witch-only command that causes its victim to take and eat a piece of fruit offered by a witch.
Contents
Acquisition
This command is learned automatically at level 26 in magic.items.held.
Performing the command
To perform this command, a witch must designate a piece of fruit, and perform the command on a living target. Performing this target costs 20 GP for the attempt, plus 20 GP if the target takes it.
In order to be successful:
- The target must be able to take the fruit (so, not be very overburdened, or holding too many items).
- The witch must pass a skillcheck of magic.methods.mental.charming versus the victim's magic.methods.spiritual.banishing skill.
Witches can use this command with fruit in a basket, in which case the strength of their temptation is increased.
Effects
When tempt is used successfully, the victim will take the designated fruit from the witch and start eating it. They will continue to eat it for a length of time probably dependent on the witch's magic.methods.mental.cursing bonus research If this has been marked on a page, it's because there was something that probably isn't known, that the person who edited the page thinks could be found out. Perhaps you could figure this thing out, and be famous evermore. . During this time, the victim is not able to put down the fruit or otherwise get rid of it, nor are they able to stop themselves from eating it.
If the witch is attempting to tempt with a poisoned fruit, then the victim may or may not realise that the witch was the one who poisoned them. Targets who realise this become hostile towards the witch once they start suffering from the effects of the poison.
It is not possible to tempt a target who is currently in combat.
Resisting temptation
There are various ways to avoid being tempted:
- Have a high magic.methods.spiritual.banishing bonus - this is the defensive skillcheck for this command.
- Be under the effect of Banishing of Unnatural Urges. Note that this spell does not confer immunity to tempt, it only increases the target's resistance.
- Wear a ruby crystal, which has the same effect as Banishing of Unnatural Urges.
Common usage
Tempt is commonly used to:
- Feed fruitbats.
- Poison enemies with poisoned apples.
