Effect

Establish eye contact and contest Charisma + Obfuscate against Wits + Resolve. Lower-generation vampires can negate it with Willpower under Dominate's rules. On a win, mortals cannot find an escape. Each scene a supernatural subject may test Resolve + Awareness against your original successes, taking one Superficial Willpower damage per missing success on failure. Teamwork cannot assist. Dangerous surroundings end the effect unless you have Terminal Decree.
