Animal Manipulation

The power to influence animal behavior with one's mind. Not to be confused with Zoolingualism or Empathy.

Also Called

 * Faunal Manipulation


 * Wildfire Manipulation


 * Zoopathy

Capability
The user can control animals. Can set stampedes onto attackers, get animals to fetch things. The user can't speak with animals or feel their emotions (unless this power is accompanied with Empathy). Users may be able to call forth hoards of rats or insects to wipe out a crop, or to encourage bees to replant it. Some users may only be able to influence some animals.

Limitations

 * May be limited on a specific species
 * May be limited on the number of targets at a time
 * May be prevented from targeting specific species
 * May cause backlash, allowing animals to target the user.

Associations

 * A limited form of Psychic Persuasion or perhaps Mind Control. This ability has little growth potential.
 * May accompany Faunal Communication.
 * May have Omnilingualism since some can talk to the animals.
