Friends

Friends was an arcane enchantment spell that could influence the mood of a creature in favor of the caster.

Effects
While the caster concentrated, for up to one minute, the target creature became more inclined to believe, be persuaded or otherwise influenced by the caster. Once the effect of the spell wore off, the target creature immediately realized that magic was used to influence its mood, and could react violently.

Older versions of the friends spell were unable to effect creatures that had an animal level of intellect or lower.

Components
The spell needed somatic and material components. As the material component, a bit of makeup was applied to the caster's face, but this could be replaced by the use of an arcane focus. Older versions of the spell instead required the caster to apply a combination of chalk, lampblack, and vermillion to their face. Alternatively, casters could substitute the chalk with white flour and the lampblack with soot.

History
The spell was attributed to Netherese arcanist Keonid in and was originally known as Keonid's friendship.
