* Can no longer sleep a target in one cast. A cast against an un-stunned target will always stun them. Casts against a stunned target (regardless of method of stun) will put the target to sleep.
* Nerve damage stacks.
* Causes target to drop whatever is in its hands.
* Nerve damage is based on success of the stat contest. Recasts will only do more nerve damage if you get a better success on the stat contest.
* Higher success will cause sleep instead of stun. Sleep can be achieved with a single cast.
* Causes target to drop whatever is in its hands. If a PC then the item will drop to their [[Inventory (concept)#At Feet Slot|"at feet" slot]].
