| - | **Roleplay Effects:** Use of this spell tends to result in emotional changes in the caster. The exact changes seem to be specific to the combination of caster and paste (i.e., a mage will have a different emotional reaction to a restoration of the flesh paste and a steal rot paste, and two different mages will have different reactions to a restoration of the flesh paste). Usually it is only a matter of time before a mage hits upon a paste which causes some sort of pleasant side-effect, often getting hooked. Equally, sheer utility might force a mage to regularly use this ability with a paste which causes an unpleasant emotional reaction, such as irritability or intense sadness. | + | **Roleplay Effects:** Use of this spell tends to result in emotional changes in the caster.
