What am I missing?

* But still causes Disturbance, right?

You described the mechanics exactly as I intended. (Given Novalis' distaste for violence, a one-sided success with Hug It Out would go against the spirit of her Word; the unaffected person would probably aim for his now-helpless target. That's why I made it an all-or-nothing effect; it takes two to hug!

Still, several people have objected that the Essence cost is too high, and that the effects are weaker than some existing Choir/Servitor Attunements. If I want to keep this as a standalone Servitor ability, what changes would you suggest to make Hug It Out both playable and worth the 10-point cost?
