Wild Magic Name: Blue Bliss

This Flora Magic does require a Minor Merit to pursue.

Challenge Rating: CR5

Abilities

50/250 XP Minor – Charismatic: The effects of the flora become passively laced into what the druid says and does. Their words and actions seem more agreeable or justified.

100/250 XP Minor - Bliss: For a cast, the druid can touch a target to flood them with intense happiness or contentment. This doesn't force the target to do anything, but it certainly makes them susceptible to being manipulated.

250/250 XP Major – Dazed: The druid expends a cast upon touching someone's head for ten seconds, growing a marvelous blue flower that stays attached to the victim. The target is flooded with such concentrated happiness that they are effectively paralyzed in a state of bliss. The feeling is described as a state of pure ecstasy with those having less than expert meditation being unable to focus their thoughts or do much of anything. Those with expert meditation could think and react but sluggishly. Masters of meditation could enjoy the bliss without being hindered at all. The effects can last for hours, though they are most potent for the first ten minutes or so. Removal of the flower immediately stops the effects.

Bliss - I'll say initially that anything that changes your speech to make it more persuasive in spite of how someone should react is profound enough that it should be a merited ability. These are also two separate abilities, and the former could be at the 50 XP tier - you're welcome to have more than two abilities with Flora Magic, two is just the recommendation.

The active minor ability portion would be fine for a non-merited ability.​

Dazed - Powerful dominating powers like these should take about ten seconds, so you have to restrain someone or lure them into a false sense of security. Otherwise, this is fine. If this is a master-cast of Saol, which it should be for this kind of power, then the Flora Magic itself will be CR5 to wield.
