By unearthing buried guilt and remorse, the Child of Gaia can force another to perform an action against her own will. Even if little relation exists between the guilty conscience and the task at hand, the gift can be effective. Better results occur when there is a direct link, however. The gift works best when the target wants to perform the action, but pride or fear prevents her from doing so. Many urban spirits that have witnessed the cruelty of humanity toward itself know this gift and teach it to the Garou.
The Garou must roleplay the plea; otherwise the gift automatically fails. Excellent roleplaying can even negate the need for a roll (or even the need for the gift). Otherwise, the Garou must roll Manipulation + Empathy versus the target's Willpower. One success barely gets a Bone Gnawer to lift his pinkie, whereas five success can force a proud Silver Fang to beg for forgiveness. The target can spend Willpower points to resist this gift.
