Well firstly I cannot say what such a power would be but I can make few suggestions for employing it. Firstly one would need to be able to distinguish between ones own emotions and those of others so as not to make the mistake of imposing ones own emotional state on ones target (or targets as the case may be). Secondly one would need to be able to recognize that different emotions and their varying intensity would impact their sensory markers. Thirdly one would do well to consider that different emotions impact and affect decision making differently (as does a lack of emotion, temporary or otherwise, by the way although how this absence is achieved will have a considerable impact on the person or persons in question). If I were to give this kind of power a name the most appropriate would probably be empathic field perception and its active counterpart would manipulation or control (which one would depend on ones level of skill, power, training, technique, and experience among a number of other factors)
