How Friends Cantrip Spell Works
When cast, it allows you to be more persuasive, deceptive, or intimidating. However, there is a catch: once the spell ends, the affected creature realizes it was charmed and might react negatively, especially on higher difficulty levels. In Tactician mode, casting Friends is considered a crime, and some targets may immediately become hostile if they see the caster after the effect expires.
