@Estralis;Maybe some simple informations only occuring to the afflicted persons, someting like(displaying a rising effect, thereafter the fall..):
some321: You feel a wave of warmth clashing on your face, and the heat runs down your spine. You feel your heartbeat.
some321:All your muscles feel like they were pulsating with fire. You feel great, and the heartbeat is raging.
some321:Your body wants to move on, from the itching urge. Now.
some321:The vision of the world around you is getting slower, and slower, somehow every colour you see has some purple in it.
-
some321:Tiny sparks are dancing amongst your field of vision, a cold tickling feeling is running down your neck and each heartbeat is a stinging hurt.
some321:The harsh noises are piercing your mind, they make your ears ache. Everything is so cold now. You want to leave this place.
some321:Somehow you feel numb.
@Grant;
Hmmm. Your first proposal is the better one.
But concerning the second: Its an alteration of existing physique, which should be a matter to the scholars in the Academy.
I am not familiar with the rune-magic system IG, but i think there should be already enough possibilities given, to implement an alteration of the casters, or its targets attributes.
@Pellandria;
Maybe, the development of the Bard should go first into a nice flowery, direction..
..the Harlekin to transform its -victims- to babbling, saliva dripping fools, would surely follow, as the "entertainer" Bard is fully suspended by the engine.
Illusions of gruesome creatures are already enough in game IMO.
I`d imagine something like..conjuring a rising number of semi-autonomic NPCs like fairies, or bunnies..or such which might have a set of given emotes, they will (depending on the skill of the caster) try to perform to him or his surroundings..
For example; an image of a fairy is to be conjured (it would bear a random numer to make it seem realistic)..as it is a success both in conjuration and an additive willpower-check, it might plant illusionary? trees, seed random herbs...even it might offer some strawberries, or with rising skill,pies, if one was friendly to it, or the check was a critial success;
But if the conjuration is a success, and the willpower-check fails, the conjured creature will intimidate its "master", and make disturbing emotes like..
#me flies around its head in unbelievable speed and screaches all the time..;
or; #me extends its tongue to him/her and dissappears in a sulfuric smelling cloud..
At a critical failure, even a whole army of fairies could appear, screaming the name of its conjurers all the time, and flying around him/her, so blocking its movement while the duration..
-
Later on as enough features have been created to afflict the conjurer itself, a second thought might be attempted to make this kind of magic concerning other chars -directly-.
There are enough ways already IG to gain power over persons -directly-.

((By the way, i think there are already many ways, given by the engine, to RP a Bard as playerchar, if one experiments,
and the whitnessing are willing to...feel))
