Potion+True+Love


 * Potion Name:** True Love Potion

Bob's potion wasn't a love potion, it was a lust potion. We all accept this. Romantic love, or "Eros", is something different; "Agape" love is something different again. This potion generates a strong feeling of agape love, or sacrificing love, for another person or group of people. While it does not subsume someone's will (which would be a violation of the 4th Law*), it does tap into that tiny shred of decency in every soul, and bring it to the fore, causing said person to willingly and gladly take risks in the defence of others, specifically and especially the person the potion is aimed at (if any). When in this state, the consumer's mind is utterly committed to said task. This allows the aspect to be both invoked (player needs a boost defending) and compelled (obvious.)


 * Duration:** Up to 24 hours, depending on when taken. (Lasts until sunrise)

he or she is afflicted with the temporary aspect "[|No Greater Love...]".
 * Effect:** Treat this potion as a manoeuvre, granting three shifts for the potion strength (opposed by the consumer’s Discipline skill). If the consumer fails to resist,


 * Variations:** As this potion //is// a variation of the standard love potion, you can probably figure out where to find other versions.


 * Ingredients:**
 * Base:** Homemade Hot Cocoa
 * Sight:** Starlight, in the nonspecific case, or a small photo (suitable for a locket) in the specific-person case.
 * Smell:** Rose Oil
 * Hearing:** Lover's Sigh
 * Taste:** Ashes, in the nonspecific case, or Irish Cream, in the specific-person case.
 * Touch:** Patch of soft silk
 * Mind:** Page bearing 1 Corinthians 13, in the nonspecific case, or a handwritten love sonnet, in the specific-person case.
 * Spirit:** Smoke from a wood-fire.


 * Addendum; This is a fine line, some wardens will view it as a clear violation of the law, and most will not like it at all. You may end up with an aspect of "Off with his head!"
 * Second Addenda: While some (perhaps even most) groups will play it this way, they should be mindful of the "flavour text" in the margin of YS:303. While it is agreed that, in principle, any Warden character should be paying exceptionally close attention to the use of this potion... as our Hero would say, "[that's a technicality] I'm prepared to hide wildly behind." Opinions will, understandably, differ, and players should most definitely discuss likely consequences of brewing this one with their GMs before doing so.
