What are the limits? Can you use it on emotionally charged objects? If so you've got a limited form of psycometry and can use it to glean the past of the object. By suck up, do you mean take? Like if some one was angry and you suck up that anger do are they still angry? Well if so you can steal the emotions of a person cause them to be apathetic which can immobilize them as they can no longer put in the effort to move. When you take emotions do you experience them? That's a limitation as it can be distracting. Can you push emotions into objects? If may seem useless (unless emotions augment them some how, like and angry sword is especially sharp/painful/causes more damage/makes people who wield/damaged by it angry) but it does sound like a good way around the prior mentioned limitation if you work fast enough or work as a personal reminder as a certain cocktail of emotions activate a certain memory like a grocery list or the face of the man who killed you father or something you don't want to forget. Giving others your emotions such as fear in a fight seems like a great way to not only act with a clear head but to distract your opponent. By sucking up only the emotions you don't want someone to fear you can control them in a sense. Take a person's courage and they've got nothing but fear, take a person's sadness and they're more able to work through what made them sad, take a person's anger and they're suddenly more reasonable, take a person's loyalty and they no longer want to follow your enemies orders.

Of course if your just experiencing their emotions and not taking them than you're an empath and will have an easier time manipulating people as you'll know what's working on them and what's not. Someone's acting brave but their really scared and don't want to do something, you can use that. Someone's nothing but anger, you can use that. And If you can only make them experience the emotions your experiencing, learn to control your emotions and manipulating people becomes that easier.
