The wish spell. Genies. Deals with devils. Even lower-ranked abilities like suggestion-type spells, depending on how they’re used. It’s a classic trope of RPGs that someone will use some sort of magic or magic-like ability to force someone else to do or believe something, or cause something to happen, but for that thing to not necessarily go in the way the person who did it intended.

What’s your favourite story in a game you’ve been in where something like this happened?

    Part is still waiting to happen

    Our characters were hired in the past to extract the country-level head of security of one of AAA corps. After they did that, in “wishes and stars”, one of the players expressed that it would be cool if things they get in contact with would come back later

    So in close future they will be hired to extract him from a secure train and in doing so they most probably will (unless the decide to fail that mission) antagonize their fixer, which just so happens to be Lofwyr - a great dragon that is the owner of another AAA corp

    And the plan is that in beat climax run the samurai will meet a heavy modified clone of the guy, that is bodyguard of continent-level CEO of the first corp

    The further plan is, that after that beat, this arch will try to explore the reality when cloning is possible.
    I’m sure they’ll be thrilled to meet the first guy again :)
