Description

A Ramtops witch would never miss the Lancre Witch Trials, and wouldn't be seen there without a Trick up her sleeve. The trick to creating a good Trick is to get the required paraphernalia to do the work for you, and this is where convincing comes in handy.

By careful convincing the witch can in many cases get her Tricks to do whatever she wants them to do.

Example

> convince stone to learn Gammer Nudity's Tomato Enchantment
The large round stone nods agreeably.
