Contra-influence of Gemini
Spell, Astrology, level 2
Nudges one individual to act against their usual nature (a miser turns generous, suspicion becomes trust); it cannot sway the truly hostile or peaceful, nor animals.
From the book
Applies a gentle pressure to one person or being, who must save vs Will or act against their usual character for 1 hour. A stingy person might do something generous, suspicion might give way to trust, or an unreliable or dishonest person might prove dependable.
The spell cannot change how a truly hostile or truly peaceful individual reacts, and it has no effect at all on animals or other semi-intelligent creatures.

A scene
The harbormaster of Gadirea has never waived a fee in thirty years, and the mage Theron is not about to pay one he cannot afford. He traces the twins in the air behind his ledger and waits. The harbormaster frowns, blinks, and then, to the astonishment of his clerks, stamps the papers free of charge and presses a fig into Theron's hand for the road. An hour later, pacing his office, the old miser still cannot understand what came over him.
