A Simple "Spike" of magical energy to the brain. This is simple,
quick spell. That plus it's low drain factor means two mages could probably
sit there and throw Mind Spikes at each other all day with no effect.

rules that the spell literally rips the assasin to shreds.
The magician thinks of a Dance, and casts this spell. If successful the
targets of this spell will start doing the dance the magician was thinking
of. This spell got it's name because the mage who discovered it was a fan
of the pre-trid sitcom Perfect Strangers, and went around making people
do the Dance of Joy from that show. Note that Dance of Joy, along with pretty
much all other Control Manipulations, cannot be used to make the target
harm themselves.
