One last set of Mental Powers questions. (For now...)
A mentalist has hit a target with a Cumulative Mind Control that has a desired effect level of say EGO+20. After three successful attacks, the total cumulative effect is up to EGO+18; the target suffers no effects, other than they know they're being attacked.
Q1: Does the target know what the specific command is? Or do they just know someone is trying to give them mental commands generally?
The 4th attack gets the total up to EGO+26. Target gets a Breakout Roll at -1; say they fail that first roll.
Q2: Can the mentalist continue to make attacks to add to the effect level and make the target's subsequent Breakout Rolls harder?
Q3: Assuming they can, does doing so also constitute "Paying END to Prevent Deterioration," or does the Mentalist have to pay END twice: once to increase the effect, and once to prevent deterioration?
Q4: Cumulative or not, is it kosher for the mentalist to lower their own SPD to limit how often they have to pay END to prevent deterioration?
