HiddenEnergyDrain, like other Malopath commands, is an empathic use of Evil. If successful it decreases the victim's energy. It might go undetected, and it might not. If detected, 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 hiddenenergydrain 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 HiddenEnergyDrain Skill will determine how effective your attempts to use the HiddenEnergyDrain command will be.

HiddenEnergyDrain is a Malopath Role command only.

"Decades before the invention of the motion picture camera, the prose fiction of the nineteenth century began to experiment with filmic techniques. We can catch glimpses of the coming cinema in Emily Bronte's complex use of flashback, in Dickens' crosscuts between intersecting stories, and in Tolstoy's battlefield panoramas that dissolve into close-up vignettes of a single soldier. Though still bound to the printed page, storytellers were already striving toward juxtapositions that were easier to manage with images than with words."
