Which Power First?
The Right Hand's Command
The Right Hand’s Command is a gesture-based form of reality manipulation — ancient in principle, divine in function. With a simple wave of your right hand, paired with a verbal declaration of intent, your desires are manifested into reality. Think of it as casting commands into the world with a literal hand of god. Say the words, move the hand, and watch the world bend. The synchronization of speech and gesture is essential — one without the other is powerless.
This form is about intention, not imagination. You must know exactly what you want and say it clearly while executing the right-hand motion. The more focused the wave — whether it’s a graceful sweep, a sharp flick, or an open-palmed thrust — the more precise and stable the result. Want it to rain? Say it, wave your hand, and the clouds obey. Want someone to forget your name? Declare it, gesture, and their memory slips away. But the universe listens not just to your voice — it watches your hand.
There’s a physical cost to using this power. Each use strains your arm and nervous system, subtly draining your stamina and possibly causing tremors, numbness, or phantom pain. Frequent or careless use may lead to your right hand becoming visibly marked — with glowing veins, cracked skin, or even divine runes burnt into the flesh. If overused without rest, your hand may lock up, become paralyzed, or lose its connection to the power entirely. Lose or injure the hand, and the gift is lost.
Because of its nature, the Right Hand’s Command is not suited for subtlety. It is seen. The waving gesture draws attention, and speaking your wish aloud makes secrecy difficult. In dangerous situations, enemies may try to bind your hand, gag your mouth, or disable you before the command is complete. Precision timing is everything — the moment must be right, or the effect fails. Worse, if you wave without thinking or speak in anger, you may trigger unintended consequences.
In essence, The Right Hand’s Command is the power of will turned into motion. It demands self-awareness, control, and confidence — perfect for those who believe in direct action and trust their own judgment. But it is not a toy or a trick — it is a divine channel, and every gesture you make echoes through the fabric of the world. To use it is to declare: “I will it — and so it is.” But will you still control your hand… when it begins to move on its own?
