To intimidate someone, show them this card and spend one Point. Rant at them with power and fury for at least one minute -- try to scare the hell out of them. You are powerful, and dangerous, and not someone to be crossed. You may then give them orders, which they must follow for at least ten minutes, until their nerves calm down a bit; until then, they are keyed up and scared.
There are limits to this ability. Other strong personalities, as well as certain others, are able to resist Intimidation; it works better on normal people and weak Sparks than it does on, eg, powerful Sparks. And you cannot order someone to do something that is counter to their own basic principles, such as (in most cases) kill someone -- if you try to do so, they may spend one Point to defy you.
You may not use this ability on any given player more than once, nor may you use it overall more than once an hour.
If you have this ability, and someone else tries to use it on you, you may counter by spending a Point and going into Intimidation mode yourself. This should result in a towering argument at top volume, but neither of you winds up scaring the other.

The following are notes made while this was in development. They do not necessarily represent the current state of this ability.
This person has an almost overwhelming presence when they want to. Anyone who does not have this ability, or some other ability to shrug it off, must cower in fear when they invoke intimidation, and do one thing that they command. Requires that the Spark rant, as with many other Spark abilities; in this particular case, effectiveness is directly related to how well and scarily the player raves. This ability requires good roleplaying. Probably requires burning 1 point, and roleplaying it. Can be used once for free by a Spark who is in the middle of Sparking. Those who have this ability can block someone else using it on them by doing it themselves, getting a raging argument going.
Von Pinn has this ability, despite not being a Spark. She may well be able to use it freely and relatively frequently -- in the comic, she intimidates on a routine basis.
