	'''Coercion''' is a [[Sage Study\|sage study]] in the [[Sage Field\|field]] of [[Streetwisdom (sage field)\|Streetwisdom]], strengthening the character's effectiveness at bullying and obtaining benefits through intimidation, extortion and various other persuasive methods. Characters that have studied the use of threats are generally hard-hearted and ruthless, going to whatever lengths are necessary to get the desired response. Usually, since the victim is being leveraged to act against his or her own self-interest, the coercive character never hesistates to inflict bodily harm, if that's what it takes.

		+	As such, studied characters have experience in various forms of debt slavery or bondage, in which both free persons and criminals are trafficked as labourers or slaves for a variety of purposes, including transport overseas, conscripted soldiers and forced prostitution. Of all thieving studies, this is perhaps the cruellest. '''It must be noted''' that excessive exploitation of these abilities '''WILL''' result in the pursuit and jailing of the individual by authorities.
