The ability to force a person to confess their secrets. Variation of Truth Inducement and Mental Inducement.
Also Called[]
- Interrogation
Capabilities[]
The user can cause others to admit to a secret and misdeeds, whether it is personal or non-personal. Those affected by the user's powers are often oblivious to the effects of this ability.
Associations[]
Limitations[]
- Users of Indomitable Will/Psychic Shield (highly resistant) and Psychic Immunity (impervious).
- Conviction may be random; user is unable to choose what others will admit of.
- The increase of personal information provided to the user (especially from those to whom he/she loves or trusts) could wear out on the user's emotional and mental state, leading to a psychotic break or even suicide.
- May require asking a question so the power would work.
- Likewise, the user must speak and the target must listen and tell, so it is ineffective if the user is gagged or if the target can't hear or speak.
- Requires a verbal confession, meaning they can't make anyone confess through gestures or writings.
- Unless they are fluent in linguistics or can somehow make the target automatically speak in a specific language, such as English, the power may not work if the person is speaking in another language.
- May only work on sapient beings and creatures, like humans, so, unless it automatically makes them speak or are sapient, will not work on animals or feral creatures.
