Eon Curiosity about karaktärsdrag granting spells

[Yahuna]

This is just a curiosity about those spells and prayers that grant a character a karaktärsdrag. There are several spells and prayers that grant a certain additional secondary trait to a character. If the caster generates enough Advantages it can even force the character to lose Välmående if the character does not act according to the trait during a certain scene.

Are these sort of spells mainly meant for player characters?

As a game master, how do you act when such a spell is cast on a non player character?

NPCs will generally have 1-2 motivations, so they can 100% be the target for these spells. Obviously, an NPC cannot use a motivation to recover Focus or Wellbeing – rather, they exist to remind the GM about personality traits, agendas, and interests.

If an NPC is affected by these kinds of spells the GM should change their behaviour to suit their new motivation. If they gain Sex as a motivation they will be more susceptible to seduction, if they are now Aggressive they could be more likely to heed your suggestion that "declaring war is a very smart move" etc.

Although some spells seem extremely dependent on interpretation to determine their usefulness. If you give an NPC "Vänskap", will they become friendly to you, or just extra loyal to their extant friends?
