The proposal must be worded in such a manner as to make the activity sound reasonable. Asking the creature to do some obviously harmful act automatically negates the effect of the spell.  The course of activity can continue for the entire duration.  If the suggested activity can be completed in a shorter time, the hack ends when the subject finishes what it was asked to do. You can instead specify conditions that will trigger a special activity during the duration. If the condition is not met before the effect duration expires, the activity is not performed.  A very reasonable proposal causes the save to be made with a penalty (such as –1 or –2).Special:  Once a day, if the target makes the Will save, you recover the hack slot this talent used.DEGAUSSLevel:  manipulator 2Casting Time:  move actionRange:  GIATarget:  one creature Duration:  five minutesFirewall Breach:  yesSaving Throw:  Will halfEffect:  The target takes 2d10 + Intelligence modifier damage neural damage, and the target is dazzled for 1d4 minutes.FENCELINELevel:  manipulator 2 (mind affecting)Casting Time:  standard actionRange:  GIATarget:  one creature Area:  60-ft. cube/level (S)Duration:  1 hour / levelFirewall Breach:  yesSaving Throw:  see textEffect:  You create a fixed field in space able to inflict pain on the target if it attempts to move from it.  If the target moves through a field wall, it must make a Will save or suffer 2d6 damage per five feet (1 square) moved beyond the edge (max 12d6).  However, if the target suffers or avoids 12D6 total damage from this hack in a single round, it is no longer affected by fenceline.  If it suffers or avoids a total of 20d6 worth of damage through the entire duration of the effect, it is no longer affected by fenceline.  At your option, you can allow the target of fenceline to circumvent it without deactivating the hack.    Special:  You cannot use fenceline on a target inside a moving vehicle.  The target must be not moving on your turn.  If using fenceline on multiple targets, they are all bound by the same area.GLARE SENSITIVITY Level:  manipulator 2Casting Time:  move actionRange:  GIATarget:  one creatureDuration:  SpecialFirewall Breach:  yesSaving Throw:  Will negatesEffect:  If the target is in bright light (in the sun or if a flashlight is shined in his face) the target is blinded until the end of your next turn.  On the target’s following turn, the target is dazzled for 1d4 rounds.  Once hit by glare sensitivity, the target suffers from glare sensitivity until the end of the encounter but targets can only by blinded and dazed once by this attack.  This does not alert the target to a hack.Server:  Use glare sensitivity against servers to disrupt any cameras on a system.   If you hit a server system, all cameras tied to this system become vulnerable to glare sensitivity.  Special:  Once a day, if the target makes the Will save, you recover the hack slot this talent used.    HIJACK ROBOTICS SYSTEMLevel:  Manipulator 2Casting Time:  move actionRange:  GIATarget:  One robot or serverDuration:  1 roundFirewall Breach:  yesSaving Throw:  Will negatesEffect:  You control the actions of the target within the limits of its abilities.  Once you have given it a command, it continues to attempt to carry out that command to the exclusion of all other activities, including that machine’s desire to recharge.Sustain:  At the beginning of the next turn after you use hijack robotics system, you can use a move action sustain it for up to five minutes.  If you change commands or give the robot a new copmmand, the robot is able to make another Will save.  If the robot had sensory equipment, you are able to hijack those as well, seeing what it is seeing.  Special:  If targeting a server, you only gain control of layers you have breached.IMPROVED BACK-HACKLevel:  manipulator 2Casting Time:  immediate actionRange:  SpecialTarget:  one creature hacking youDuration:  five minutesFirewall Breach:  noSaving Throw:  noEffect:  If you detect a target currently diving into your brain or system, you gain the target's GIA (not their physical location).  You also instantly reset one personal firewall and its defense increases by +4 until the end of your next turn.  You maintain the target's GIA until the end of your next turn, regardless if the target moves or not.    Special:  If the target has a GIAS (GIA Scrambler) and you hit, you must make a Computer Use skill check against the GIAS's ProgDC or fail in hack.  This takes no additional action.  You only gain one attempt against the ProgDC per use of improved back-hack.  IMPULSE SURGELevel:  manipulator 2 (mind-affecting)Casting Time:  move actionRange:  GIATarget:  one creatureDuration:  one roundFirewall Breach:  yesSaving Throw:  Will negatesEffect:  The target is stunned until the beginning of your next turn.Special:  Once a day, if the target makes the Will save, you recover the hack slot this talent used. NEURAL STRIKELevel:  manipulator 2Casting Time:  free actionRange:  GIATarget:  one creature Duration:  instantaneousFirewall Breach:  yesSaving Throw:  noneEffect:  Add a neural shot to your last hack you used this turn other than one that breaks through firewalls.  You can only apply it to one hit (it cannot be used against multiple opponents).  That bonus damage is +2d6 + your character level.SATELLITE HACKLevel:  manipulator 2Casting Time:  move actionRange:  150 feet (30 squares)Target:  one creature in line of sight.  The target must be outdoors.Duration:  five minutesFirewall Breach:  noSaving Throw:  noEffect:  Gain the target’s GIA and a +2 bonus to attack the target with non-hack ranged attacks as long as the target remains within 500 feet of its original location.  Target gains no benefits from concealment or cover.    Special:  You can relay this information to any ally with an open channel.  They gain the benefits instead of you.  SIMPLE GOD HACKLevel:  manipulator 2 (mind-affecting)Casting Time:  standard actionRange:  GIATarget:  one creature Duration:  1 roundFirewall Breach:  yesSaving Throw:  Will negatesEffect:  You can control the actions of the target through your SEED connection.  You can generally force the subject to perform as you desire, within the limits of its abilities, regardless if the target understands you or not (as you're hijacking basic brain functions via the SEED).  You do not receive direct sensory input from it, nor can it communicate with you.  Once you have given a dominated creature a command, it continues to attempt to carry out that command to the exclusion of all other activities except those necessary for day-to-day survival (such as sleeping, eating, and so forth). Because of this limited range of activity, a Sense Motive check against DC 15 can determine that the subject’s behavior is being influenced by an enchantment effect (see the Sense Motive skill description).  Changing your orders or giving a dominated creature a newcommand is a move action.  Server:  If targeting a server, the server cannot activate any functions on this layer and all layers you have penetrated.  You cannot activate any of its server functions but neither can it.  Sustain:  At the beginning of the next turn after you use simple god hack, you can use a move action sustain it for up to one minute.   If you sustain his hack for five minutes, the effects last until the end of the day.    Special:  Once a day, if the target makes the Will save, you recover the hack slot this talent used.TAPEWORMLevel:  manipulator 2 (mind-affecting)Casting Time:  standard actionRange:  GIATarget:  one creature Duration:  instantaneousFirewall Breach:  yesSaving Throw:  Will negatesEffect:  You reach into the subject’s mind and modify as many as 5 minutes of its memories in one of the following ways.• Eliminate all memory of an event the subject actually experienced.  This can negate other mind affecting hacks like decent prosoal and simple/complex god hack  • Allow the subject to recall with perfect clarity an event it actually experienced.• Change the details of an event the subject actually experienced.• Implant a memory of an event the subject never experienced.You do not construct the memory on the fly but load up a previously rendered memory, as creating the memory while inside the target would take to long and result in too much concentration.  A modified memory does not necessarily affect the target's actions, particularly if it contradicts the creature’s natural inclinations. An illogical modified memory is dismissed by the creature as a bad dream, too much wine, or another similar excuse.TELEPRESENCE Level:  manipulator 2Casting Time:  free actionRange:  SpecialTarget:  One creature you had a GIA of in the previous turn Duration:  youFirewall Breach:  noSaving Throw:  noneEffect:   Regardless of line of sight or other rules dealing with a target’s GIA, you maintain the GIA of a target until the end of your next turn.</blockquote>
