[QUOTE="kenjib, post: 27646, member: 530"] From the SRD: 1. Contact a local ruler, who you can identify because of his high profile, but who does not know you. Feed him the results of a divination or communion spell that you cast earlier to discover something about his future. Continue to do this at a regular interval, such as once a week. Once you have spent some time giving reliable information and firmly established yourself as a "guiding dream spirit" for the person, start to subtly twist, filter, and manipulate the information you give him so that he starts to do the things you want him to do. Unlike targets of Dominate Person (same level spell for wiz/src), he has no magical aura to show that he is being influenced. It may also be cast at any range, even interplanar, making it possible to cast it on high ranking officials who are hard to gain audience with, let alone the freedom to cast spells near them while in the presence of guards. Furthermore, you could even use summon monster (since the dream can be sent by someone you touch) to summon a celestial being to deliver the message, giving the message seemingly great divine significance. 2. Cast nightmare repeatedly on a subject every night. Randomly intersperse this with castings of dream to relay warnings and threats to a person to manipulate their behavior with threats of more nightmares. This works even better if used in conjunction with a summon monster spell to have a fiendish being deliver the message, who can also feed misinformation in such a way that you are never suspected as the originator of the spell and yet you reap all of the benefits of the resulting extortion. I'll be seeing you in your dreams. Sleep tight! [/QUOTE]
