Persuasion

The power to''' force others to obey one's vocal imperatives. '''Not to be confused with Telepathy. Also known as Psychic Suggestion.

Capability
The user can compel people by speaking unresistable commands. The victims are unable to disobey; the seemingly cogent commandment is far too compelling.

At high level, can even persuade people into hurting/killing themselves, but can never cause victims to achieve what they are not capable of (ex. flight).

Strong willed subjects may be able to resist this power.
