Dread

Dread stirs strong fear within all holy elohim. It damages Passion by 9(3) and causes them to become wary and immediately assume Full Defensive Stance if not fully Resisted. The Defensive Stance only gives 2 Guard and no bonus Defensive Adjustment. If they have 3 uncancelled Fails in their Resist Check, they will flee the War for 1 Cycle instead (not Singing or doing any other actions). This Song is Resistible using Passion.

Cursed Dread damages Passion by 12(4). Corrupt Dread damages Passion by 15(5).

Terror

Terror causes all holy elohim to Falter, filling them with an overwhelming imminent hopelessness. It damages Passion by 12(4) and causes them to Falter half of their Action Points each Turn if not fully Resisted. This Falter is applied as F:# just before the start of each Turn. If they have 3 uncancelled Fails in their Resist Check, they will Falter:1 Cycle instead. This Song is Resistible using Resolve. 

Cursed Terror damages Passion by 15(5). Cursed Terror damages Passion by 18(6).

Trepidation

Trepidation impresses one holy Target with a burden that they should not prevent evil in this situation and that any interference should come directly from the Most High if it is to come at all. If not fully Resisting, the Target will suffer Passion damage and will Falter half their Action Points in indecision. If their Resist Check has no Passes, they will Falter all of their AP instead. However, if they have 3 uncanceled Fails in their Resist Check, instead of Faltering, they will actively try to stop any other holy elohim attempting to address the unholy elohim (for example, restraining those who are still fighting against the unholy elohim) out of fear of abusing their prerogative. They will continue in this vein until their Passion is fully recovered. Holy elohim affected by Trepidation will not freely allow others to Strike them. They have unaffected defenses and will assume Defensive Stance or flee in order to avoid being Struck by unholy elohim. This Song is Resistible using Passion.

Unlike usual, this Song is Resisted at the end of each of the Minstrel's Turns. The Minstrel chooses their Target at the beginning of their Turn each Turn. The Minstrel may change to a different Target each Turn. If changing Target's, the previous Target they will cease to be affected at the end of the Minstrel's current Turn.

Cursed Trepidation damages Passion by 9(3) and can be harder to Resist. Corrupt Trepidation damages Passion by 12(4) and can be even harder to Resist.

Subjugation

Subjugation enhances the effects of Dread, Terror, or Trepidation by reducing the number of uncanceled Fails needed to cause the strongest effect. Unlike usual, Subjugation is only sung investing 2 or 4 SPP. 2 SPP reduces the uncanceled Fails needed to 2. 4 SPP reduces the uncanceled Fails needed to 1.

Subjugation can affect versions being sung by allies.

	Class	Complexity	Effect
Subjugation	Enhancing Ongoing	144	affects all versions of Dread, Terror, or Trepidation 2 SPP gives strongest effect with 2 uncanceled Fails 4 SPP gives strongest effect with 1 uncanceled Fail
