Side Effect: After casting a spell of the nth magnitude, the scent of Antoine's sigil causes those within n paces to become more susceptible to suggestion. They suffer a -n penalty to rolls to resist lies, suggestions, confusion, befuddlement and subterfuge, whether magical or mundane. However, this also applies to Antoine's allies, and - to a lesser extent (n/2 penalty) to Antoine himself. This effect is magical, with Penetration 0.
Reforging (Verditius, minor): Can repair enchanted items, increase their vis capacity and smelt them for Vis
