Love entity (5) Our not-yet-official definition for Love Entity:
User can sense, replicate, and manipulate feelings of love within their immediate vicinity. They are able to forge telepathic bonds with those they have strong affection for, as well as temporarily: cast love-based illusions (such as to glamour themselves or someone else), induce love, alter the gender/breeding ability to allow horses in love to breed (sterile horses require owner permission to be altered). Their powers are influenced by the love in their life and will grow stronger if they are surrounded by love and require more strength if they are not. They will also find that this trait is weak against those with lots of anger or hate.
