Abilities and Powers:

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. <ref name="playtest">Playtest Capes</ref>

These effects tend to lay off in a couple hours<ref name="list">Wildbow's Parahuman List</ref>, with a few notable and dangerous exceptions.
