Intimidation

Category: Social

Intimidation is the use of coercion, threats, and projecting an aura of danger or authority to force others to comply with your wishes. It can be physical (looming over someone), verbal (making explicit threats), or magical (flaring your aura to demonstrate your power). It is a blunt instrument, but highly effective when time is short.

Common Uses

Interrogation: Forcing a captive or suspect to reveal information through fear.
Coercion: Forcing someone to take an action they otherwise wouldn't through threats of violence or ruin.
Aura Flaring: Using raw magical presence to terrify weaker opponents into submission or flight.
