Hocus inner
When you and another character have sex, you each hold 1. Each of you can spend that hold at any time to help or interfere with the other, at a distance or despite any barriers that would normally prevent it.
HOCUS MOVES
☑ Fortunes: at the beginning of the session, roll+fortune. On a 10+, your followers have surplus. On a 7–9, they have surplus, but choose 1 want. On a miss, they are in want. If their surplus lists barter, that's your personal share. The details of fortunes, surplus, and want depend on your followers.
☐ Frenzy: when you speak the truth to a mob, roll+weird. On a 10+, hold 3. On a 7–9, hold 1. Spend your hold 1-for-1 to make the mob:
On a miss, the mob turns on you.
☐ Charismatic: when you try to manipulate someone, roll+weird instead of roll+hot.
☐ Fucking wacknut: you get +1 weird (max weird +3).
☐ Seeing souls: when you help or interfere with someone, roll+weird instead of roll+Hx.
☐ Divine protection: your gods give you +1 armor. If you wear physical armor, use that instead.

DESCRIPTION
When you use your followers for insight, state your goal and ask your followers what they think your best course of action is; the MC will tell you. If you pursue that course, take +1 to any rolls you make in the pursuit. If you pursue the course but don't accomplish your goal, you mark experience.
If your followers have surplus of augury this session, you can use the augury move (see p. 211).
