Harm, like other Malopath commands, is an empathic use of Evil. If successful it decreases the victim's health, potentially to the point of death. It's likely to be detected, and it's likely that victims won't take kindly to it. Be forewarned.

There are many conditions which could prevent you from being able to harm a particular target. You may be too tired, or paralyzed, or blinded and unable to find the target. The Game channel will inform you of the outcome of your command.

As with many other TriadCity commands, your expertise with the Harm Skill will determine how effective your attempts to use the Harm command will be.

Harm is a Malopath Role command only.

"Like the bricoleur, Eliot extracts certain elements (generally sentences or lines) from organized wholes of various nature, and chooses precisely those elements which are capable of performing a new fuction, more or less distanced from the original, in the new structure. [...] The 'fragment' has become a function: what is striking is no longer that it is dislocated and mangled, but that it possesses a precise meaning and role, and that it contributes effectively towards the composition of a new organized whole."
