Insignificance

Regular; Special Resistance
Causes all beings with whom the subject has social contact to ignore or
disregard him. Only beings who have a reason to notice that particular per-
son or someone in his particular situation can resist the spell with Per – the
subject himself does not get to resist. Viewers get a bonus to their resistance
roll equal to the subject’s total Appearance modifier,
whether positive or negative. Thus, viewers of an Attractive subject resist with Per+1,
but viewers of an Unattractive subject also resist with Per+1.
The spell’s effects are limited in magnitude; the subject could slip
unnoticed through a crowd, but would be stopped by guards if trying to go
where he should not. He can get someone’s attention by grabbing him, but is
then likely to get a negative reaction. If he steals something or commits some
other objectionable act (removing his clothing, perhaps), all witnesses get a
new resistance roll. If he attacks someone, that person is automatically
released from the spell – furthermore, the victim’s cries for help won’t be ignored!
Insignificance and Presence resist each other.
