-You can cause an enemy's attack to hesitate at the last second, lessening it's impact. By spending 1 [[priority:magic#mana|MP]] as an Immediate Action, a single attack made by the target creature inflicts the minimum possible damage (meaning all rolled dice are treated as if they rolled a 1) - you may use this Talent after it is determined whether the attack hits or not. The creature affected by this Talent must be able to see you. This is a mind-affecting spell-like ability.+You can cause an enemy's attack to hesitate at the last second, lessening it's impact.

-As a Full Action, you may spend 5 [[priority:magic#mana|MP]] interrupt combat to force your enemies to parlay with you. Initiative turn order is paused, after which you may freely speak to the enemies and attempt [[priority:skills:diplomacy|Diplomacy]], even if the enemies would not normally consider this factor. This acts like a fascination effect, meaning that the enemies will not attack you first; you or your allies must initiate combat to resume the Initiative turn order from where it left off. However, enemies are not flat-footed in this manner - if you or your allies begin aggressive actions, Initiative simply resumes from where it left off.+As a Full Action, you may spend 5 [[priority:magic#mana|MP]] interrupt combat to force your enemies to parlay with you.

This Talent is still mind-affecting however, meaning that it has no effect upon creatures normally immune to such things. Your charm and beauty begin to surpass that of other mortals - living humanoids now possess a starting attitude of Friendly towards you (though this may be quickly ruined by the actions of you or your allies).
