Side Kick Mind Control

[Super Squirrel]

I'm trying to build a power correct characters in Side Kick. The power I'm trying to build is the act of making a flirtatious motion to make someone fall in love with the character. In 5th Revised, Telepathic is used when the command isn't spoken. The problem I'm running into is the wording of Mind Control in Side Kick.

 

Page 56 of Side Kick, it states:

the character must have some way to communicate the order to the target, such as his voice or Telepathy; otherwise he cannot establish Mind Control

 

And the example of Mind Control is Cupid's Dart:

Mind Control 12d6 (60 Active Points); OAF (-1), Only to Control/Inflict Love (-1)

 

Question 1:

I assume that the correct usage of Cupid's Dart is that the character uses a "dart" and throws it. The ECV Attack determines whether or not the "dart" hits. If it hits, the attacker gives the command of who to love and effect roll is made. Is this correct?

 

Question 2:

Can a Seduction Roll be used as a non-verbal method to communicate a command in Mind Control?

1. Yes.

 

2. No. Unless the GM rules otherwise, an Interaction Skill (or any other type of Skill) can't be used non-verbally to communicate an order via Mind Control.
