Martyrization

Description: Casting this spell causes a target
creature, upon death, to become a martyr.
The target creature must be touched successfully.
If the target creature resists being
touched, then the caster must make a Brawling
skill check (see Chap. 8: Skills). A sizable
percentage of the nearest population who
is aware of the death of the target creature
will martyrize them. Circumstances vary, but
if the target creature dies a public death in a
city, about 100,000 characters will martyrize
them after death. The exact effect is determined
by the Aedile, but it is common for
cults to form for a martyr.

Description: Casting this spell causes 100 target
creatures closest to a point designated by the
caster to become subservient to the bidding
of the caster. The target creatures may be
able to avoid the effects of the spell if they
pass a Drive check at TH 26.
While under the influence of the
caster, the target creatures will not commit
suicide, but may be more apt to harm themselves
than usual. Generally, they will feel
compelled to please the caster by doing the
caster’s bidding without question. The target
creatures of this spell are dominated
mentally by the caster.
When the spell expires, the target
creatures will remember the events that
ocurred during this spell. However, these
memories will seem disoriented, as if from
a dream.
Perhaps the most popular use of this
spell is to raise a military force or create a
mob.
