That's risky, Sophronia will still cast her spell, and Cygna's spell can't hurt. She'll at least be asleep once she transforms, and if the transformation happens at sunset and the process interferes with her Form, we'll have a sleeping animal with the failed spell, rather than an awake animal with the failed spell.
Yeah, too bad moonrise can't be a few minutes after sunset. Sure would make this easier.
So, have Cygna put her to sleep just before sunset, and Sophronia cast her formulaic version just after, since she has it Mastered and stuff? And chain her up when Cygna puts her to sleep (again, bad choice of words, here) just in case?
Both sleep spells work, if cast before the sun sets. If cast after the sun sets, when Sinmore is a beast, it does not work-- as a werebeast she has no Mentem; it would require Animal to put her to sleep.
"I knocked her out now, so we could work unhindered. I think timing your spell for sunset is a good idea, certainly worthy of trying, but we have no guarantee that the spell will work, or at least work once the transformation is complete. I was attempting to mitigate the risk of the spell not working when the transformation begins." ((Cygna has superior ReMe CS, so the spell is still a good idea.))
Unless "Go to sleep" counts as a "single suggestion," than Cygna won't be able to do much. She's got Int 4 + Re 5 + An 3 + Aura 5 = 17, so she can probably pull off a Level 10 effect. Figure +1 for Touch and +2 for Sun, then she can't do much more than a Base 3. "Plant a single suggestion in the mind of an animal" is Base 2, so the target for a R: Touch, D: Sun, T: Individual would be 5. Next up would be "Calm an animal" (Base 4), but that would put her target level at 15.
Scupper it, let's go with the Base 2 /Level 5 "Go to sleep" and hope it works. Just after sundown, unless Attravere (30+die) or Sophronia (25+die) wants to give it a go.
Cygna rolls a 5 for a total of spell level 11. If "calm down" is a base 4 then base 3 isn't enough to put her to sleep, but it is more than sufficient to say, "STAY."
The giant slathering weregulon sits and stays, though she is still snarling. The beast is enormous and terrifying.
Sure Sophronia's will try, but with target of circle and ring duration and drawing a new circle outside Attravere's ward. This way she can avoid touching Sinmore's were form.
Base 5, Dur: Ring, Tar: Circle. It's sufficient to put the beast to sleep. She will not be able to escape the circle until after sunrise, when she's no longer Animal.
[color=red]"Well, now what?" Cygna asks as she looks down at the snoring monstrosity. [color=red]"Are we going to have to do this three nights every month? Or do you think she can be trusted to come up with a better way of controlling herself when this happens?" ((ooc - did Leona have any ideas when Cygna asked her about this?))
[color=red]"If worse comes to worse, we could enchant a collar for her that will put her to sleep when she becomes this...thing. Under the circumstances, I would even suggest that it would count as Covenant Service."
[i]((Base 5, as Arya said. R: Touch (+1), D: Sun (+2), T: Ind, for an effect level of 20. 2 uses a day (+1), give it +30 Penetration* (+15), Environmental Trigger: Moonrise/Moonset or The Wearer Is A Lycanthrope (+3) , for a final Enchantment Level of 39.
*Sinmore's MR vs Animal is currently 10 (2 Parma, 0 Animal), but I'd like to give it some additional Penetration in case Sinmore forgets to not raise her Parma and if she gets a higher PM score/learns Animal.))[/i]
Attravere breathes a sigh of relief, quietly and motions that they go outside to talk.
Once outside, "Well done. I'm glad that was not a disaster. We should do that for the next two nights as well, but I don't think we'll need to do that three times each month in the future. Wouldn't casting a ReAn to put her to sleep for a cycle of the moon be enough?"
"I doubt that such enchantment would count for covenant service with Sinmore's probationary status. She's done a few things that leave me in doubt as to whether she'd achieve unanimous approval to join the covenant. Since council approval is also needed for covenant service of that type..." Attravere will leave it at that.
"It's not the length of the enchantment, Attravere, it is the type of enchantment. As you'll note, I have a circle around your circle. She will be free to move about as she reverts to her human form. We will have to ensure she comes back here each night, and if we leave the circles intact, we should be fine."
Oh, yes, that's right.
Circle lasts until the circle is broken, or the duration of the spell ends. Since that throws it back to Ring, when Sinmore exits the ring in human form the spell(s) of Ring duration will automatically end, since they no longer have a valid target.
When Attravere begins to nod off he'll turn to Cygna and Sophronia and ask, "I notice you don't seem tired at all stretch... could one of you wake me closer to the dawn? I thought I'd yawn prepared for this by getting some rest in earlier, but it doesn't seem like enough."
[color=red]"I cheated," Cygna says with a grin. [color=red]"I sang a spell on myself to keep me awake until sunrise. Would you like me to do the same for you?"
((If she does, the target spell level would be 15, which Cygna can do as long as she doesn't botch. If not, Cygna will happily keep watch, quietly singing to herself, Sinmore, and anyone who listens.))
