Influence on Others
System
Resonance is not a self-contained phenomenon. In many cases, its effects and sensations spill over onto other people, animals, and other beings. Ever notice how some people’s pets resemble them… and often act like them as well? Or hear that phrase “the Devil knows his own”? Or notice how certain folks seem to either fit together or repulse one another? In some cases, that’s Resonance manifesting itself within a person’s inner circle.
That influence can make some people extremely attractive, especially for people who think they have something to gain from the “resonant” party. Mentors influence their students; lovers influence their intimates; parents influence their kids, and creators influence their creations. Totems influence their mortal allies, and gods manifest their qualities among their strongest devotees. An Infernalist may radiate the presence of a demon she has dealt with, while an apprentice shares the energy of the person who trained him… sometimes even when he wishes he did not!
