 <!-- After a brief career as ‘Tongue-Tie’, Edict decided she didn’t have it in her to be a committed heroine, especially with her unreliable master power.  Now a Protectorate hero in a three-cape town, she keeps an eye on things, ready to deliver a warning word.-->

-Edict can give one-word commands, if they're generally actions that can be carried out in the span of three seconds. If the commands aren't something the can be done that quickly, it prompts or can be canceled out by starting the action. Failing to obey Edict's command causes mental grief, minor stroke-like symptoms, hallucinations, amnesia, compulsive tics, an inability to speak, etc. The form of 'penalty' is unpredictable and sometimes foes can plow through a series of "stops!" with nothing more than a headache or red-green colorblindness in one eye.
