Over time, the Shadow Lord can convince a target that the Gift user holds the other's best interests at heart. At first, the new-found friend performs small favors; much later, the pawn might even die for the Shadow Lord. A Rat-spirit teaches this Gift.
The Gift affects just one pawn at a time. Over the period of a week, the Shadow Lord must pretend to be the person's friend (the friendship can be real as well). During that time, he must spend one Gnosis per day to seal the arrangement. After the first week, the pawn sides with the Shadow Lord in arguments, helps with the Garou's chores and rolls his cigarettes. The effect fades in one week unless the Shadow Lord spends additional Gnosis. If the Gift affects the same person for over a year, the small favors and general friendliness turn obsessive and dangerous.
