You select an animal (for example, a lion) or an image (such as a shining sword) or an ideal (such as honor) and associate that with a specific individual. Everyone within range associates that person with that animal, image, or ideal whenever they hear the person’s name or see the person, for as long as the spell lasts. This has no real compulsion effect, but can be a subtle way to influence a group; by planting an image association that links a lord to wickedness or a serpent, the caster can undermine morale in that lord’s dominion for days.

Material component: A sketch of the target and a sketch of the item to be associated with him (or the name of it, if it is an abstract concept).
