Can I? Will you?

Ok, I asked for this cog a LONG time ago but it was at Cog Warehouse and as most of you know, its gone. Well, now's when I need it. I need a little assistance. I just need somebody to take the standard Persuasion cog and modify it a bit. I'm not 100% sure it can be dont but here goes. I want it to be modified so it can be turned on and off whenever you want by activating it. Second I want it to be so you can still target somebody even though they are invisible. So it would look like there are just those little recticle circles floating in air. Is that possible? Well if it isn't just leave off the targeting part. Thanks ahead of time.

It's all possible, but I can't do it (don't have JK stuff anymore). Anyway, Cog Warehouse should be back up soon on a GOOD host.

CW should be up soon, but here's the cog, not tested, but it should work. They aren't able to be targeted, though.:

Ok, you got one part right. The part about activating and deactivating works perfectly. I want it to slowly drain your mana while its on. If it already does and I haven't noticed, sorry. But I need that cog to also drain your mana slowly while its on. When you turn the power off, its quit draining mana.
