	=== Guided Questioning ===		=== Guided Questioning ===

	The easiest way to instill Mantras is by “guided questioning”. If you ask someone who does not already know the answers a set of questions that do not include any form of those answers, and they ~~truthfully answer~~ you with those answers (in speech or writing; they do not have to be spoken aloud), then that Mantra takes effect. You can ask a number of questions equal to the strength of the Intuition effect you are under. (Synonymous answers - e.g. “fire” and “flame” - are acceptable and work for this purpose.)		The easiest way to instill Mantras is by “guided questioning”. If you ask someone who does not already know the answers a set of questions that do not include any form of those answers, and they correctly provide you with those answers (in speech or writing; they do not have to be spoken aloud), then that Mantra takes effect.

	If additional characters are contributing strength to the Mantra by taking Heartsblood, the additional characters each ask one of the questions.		If additional characters are contributing strength to the Mantra by taking Heartsblood, the additional characters each ask one of the questions.

	== Instilling a Mantra ==		== Instilling a Mantra ==
	To begin instilling a Mantra, you must have the '''Instill Mantra''' profession skill. You must also be under an Intuition effect, most commonly from a pharmaceutical tea, though you can also just eat Heartsblood herbs for a Strength 1 Intuition effect. Each such effect will note the '''strength'''. Any character who isn't the target can help with this by taking a Heartsblood herb; each character who does this counts as 1 additional Strength of Intuition. After Instilling a Mantra, the effect providing the Strength expires.		To begin instilling a Mantra, you must have the '''Instill Mantra''' profession skill.

After Instilling a Mantra, the effect providing the Strength expires.

	Each known Mantra takes the form of a series of answers. The words to each Mantra are different when starting the session; the Intuitionist should ask the Refs for a set of appropriate words.
