Tongue Tie

This rule just plain sucks. It needs a complete overhaul in order to be useful. We don't want to deprecate it, so get cracking on a revision, slacker!

Rarity	1
AP	4
Target	Creature
Distance	Near
Lasts	One minute per rank
Save	Resilience

The mage makes the mouth of a target gluey and tough to open. Naturally, any speaking takes a penalty. The severity of the penalty is dependent on the Intensity. Mages that can cast spells without speaking can ignore the spellcasting penalty.

Intensity Effects

1. -4 to spellcasting and social rolls involving speech
2. -6 to spellcasting and social rolls involving speech
3. -8 to spellcasting and social rolls involving speech
4. -10 to spellcasting and social rolls involving speech
5. Spellcasting automatically fails, creature can only hum and mumble
