Capability

This is a mental attack, with it you can cause madness in a person or group of people that have no mental illness. If you stare at them using your power, they'll become completely schizo. They'll lose total grip of reality becoming delusional, lose control over themselves, paranoid, catatonic, & even hostile. So be careful not to get to close to them.
