New Disadvantage: Fascination
You are fascinated by something - fire, a melody, a smell or something else. When confronted with the subject of your fascination, you will stand still and just watch (or listen, etc.) it. Treat this as being Dazed (p.B428), although you get a self-control roll to avoid this. You are incapacitated for 1d minutes unless you are attacked, slapped, etc. Once you've woken up you are immune to your fascination for 10 minutes.
Base value is as follows: Rare: -15 points Occasional: -30 points Common: -45 points This may seems like an excess, but in combat it is equivalent to everyone getting to make a Targeted All-Out Attack on you. Thoughts?

Re: New Disadvantage: Fascination
I'd be fine with -5*, -10* or -15* points, otherwise, someone can get 90 points(common at 6) for something with is so many times smaller than cursed.

Re: New Disadvantage: Fascination
I'd base it on Flashbacks--more specific trigger, easier end condition, but similar effects.
