Silenced Scream of the Magistrate

Maybe they ported if over from Mage where you get High Speech for free with being a part of an Order?

While Bans are a very interesting thing that seems to get little screentime (Partially because some of the bans are so limited and have little effect) I don't think the Ban would leave the host alive, even if the spirit tore itself out of the flesh of its hosts due to the presence of its Ban. However, another question, what would it take so that

Namely the section describing the neurotransmitters setting up the action potentials to begin the movement in the actin/myosin. Whatever your infectious agent is, it would have to be able to essentially mimic the brain exactely

Hormones are what the brain uses to communicate as well. Even the action potential through the brain is an electrochemical set up, the "signal" being completely chemical in the gap while being electrical down the axon (even that though is based on a chemical gradient). A virus especially needs to hijack the machinery of a cell to be able to
