The caster and target make a Contested Check - the caster uses Authority, Presence or Sovereignty, and the target uses Resilience, Tenacity or Willpower. If the caster wins, the caster names a specific condition from the following list: >- Attacks the caster; >- Moves more than 30 ft.; >- Casts a spell; >- Targets an ally with a harmful effect. >The first time the target meets that condition each round, they suffer 2d10 Psychic damage, for as long as this spell is maintained. > >- **Spell Ascension** – For each point of Ascension, increase this damage by 1d10. > > >## **Indigo** > >**Keywords** - *[Geas](Geas%20Sphere.md), [Afflict](Afflict.md)* > >**Color Effect** – If the bound condition is "attacks the caster", whenever it triggers, the caster may sacrifice Hit Points, [Mana](Mana.md), or a point of [Courage](Courage.md) equal to their [Spirit](Spirit.md). If they do, this spell's damage is doubled that instance, and the wound lingers - the target also takes half that damage again at the start of their next turn. > >## **Blue** > >**Keywords** - *[Geas](Geas%20Sphere.md), [Afflict](Afflict.md)* > >**Color Effect** – If the bound condition is "moves more than 30 ft.", whenever it triggers, the caster may instead have this spell's effect also trigger for a second enemy within 10 ft. of the target, binding their fates together. > >## **Green** > >**Keywords** - *[Geas](Geas%20Sphere.md), [Afflict](Afflict.md), [Heal](Heal.md)* > >**Color Effect** – Whenever the bound condition triggers, thorned vines of fate coil from the wound.

If the target meets both conditions in the same round, they are also afflicted with Tier III [Frightened](Frightened.md)/[Horror](Horror.md), as their fate closes in from every side. > >## **Red** > >**Keywords** - *[Geas](Geas%20Sphere.md), [Afflict](Afflict.md)* > >**Color Effect** – If the bound condition is "targets an ally with a harmful effect", whenever it triggers, an ally within 10 ft. of the target gains [Courage](Courage.md) equal to the caster's [Spirit](Spirit.md), and the caster or that ally learns an ability that [Combat Acumen](Combat%20Acumen%20(Tactician).md) would reveal about the target. > >## **Violet** > >**Keywords** - *[Geas](Geas%20Sphere.md), [Afflict](Afflict.md), [Economy](Economy.md)* > >**Color Effect** – Whenever the bound condition triggers, the target is also afflicted with Tier III [Numbed](Numbed.md), as fate itself dulls their senses in the moment of failure. > >--- >[!recite|no-i alt-co]+ ###### [Doom](Doom.md) > >>[!infobox] >>|  |  | >>|-----------------|:-:| >>|**Keywords**|*[Geas](Geas%20Sphere.md), [Depower](Depower.md), [Afflict](Afflict.md)*| >>|**Spherum**|Geas| >>|**Range**|30 ft. / 15 ft.
