You are a mastermind behind the scenes, but you’re hardly a fighter in your own right. But hey, that’s what your minions are for, isn’t it? In particular, one minion stands out above the rest, proving to be the strongest among your followers. While you hide behind your Marvelous Minion, they carry out your plans, ensuring that your goals come to fruition, whatever they might be.

(5)-[Triggered/Start of Combat Round]: Spend all of your Actions to make a Clash (Cognitive/Morale) against your Marvelous Servant.

You must select your Marvelous Servant for the first effect of the Spectator State if you enter it through this effect.
A Marvelous Servant
A Marvelous Servant is a Character that is controlled by the ARC. While they are generally assumed to be an Ally, they can become an Opponent if prompted, led astray, or possessed (see — Possess Maneuver and Overtaken Awakening). You cannot use the 5th effect of A Powerful Servant if your Marvelous Servant is possessed.
Upon gaining this Awakening, work with your ARC to create a Marvelous Servant. Your Marvelous Servant should be of the same Power Level as you and with an equal number of Awakenings. When deciding other Transformations, discuss what seems appropriate to maintain a similar degree of strength with the rest of the party – treat the Marvelous Servant as another member of the party for deciding their Transformations.
Whenever you gain a Power Level or an Awakening, the Marvelous Servant should as well.
Generally, a Marvelous Servant shouldn’t be a perfectly subservient creature. The risk of having such a powerful tool is that it may not always be in your favor. For the 5th effect of A Powerful Servant, a Marvelous Servant should use the Willing Failure rule to accept your orders – unless you, or someone else, has given them reasons not to.
