Capabilities

The user can compel people by speaking, the victims are unable to disobey; the seemingly cogent commandment is far too compelling.

Applications

Techniques

  • Confession Inducement: Implore others nesting bile and secrecy holstered beneath their false appeal to come clean, and even act on their most selfish impulses.
  • Inhibition Release Compel people to admit to and act upon repressed mandates to slake their personal selfish desires.
  • Truth Inducement: to force veracity by vocal questions and prevent them to come up with a lie, similar to Lie Detection.

Variations

Hypnosis

  • The psychic ability to put one into a trance-like state of extreme suggestibility.
  • Autohypnosis, also called Autohypnotism, Autosuggestion, Hypnotic Self-Control or Hypnotic Autosuggestion is the psychic ability to place oneself under hypnotic control.
  • Hypnotic Beauty also called Blinding Beauty is the ability to stun subjects with unnaturally good looks (trapping them in the thought of one’s beauty like a deer in headlights, similar to Mesmorization or Stupefaction).
  • Hypnotic Call, also called Hypnotic Lure is the ability to draw subjects to the user without the use of music or otherwise lyrical undertones.
  • Hypnotic Charm, also called Charisma or Animal Magnetism is the ability to hypnotically cause subjects to like the user, trust, respect and become doting sycophants that will do anything to please them.
  • Hypnotic Medium is the ability to channel one’s hypnotic powers through an object. The most common object to use is a pendulum with a jewel or gem on it (though other media can be used, even a pinwheel or the like).
  • Hypnotic Music, also called Hypnotizing Music or Hypnotic Composition is a variation of Hypnotism in which the user channels their subliminal powers of hypnotic control (only the trance-inducing, not the commanding) through one’s music. This can be channeled through any instrument one plays (if one uses the voice, it is instead Hypnotic Song), as long as the music is played accurately.
  • Hypnotic Song is the ability to emit a beautiful song that entrances people and subliminally compels them to either follow any predetermined orders given by the user in the song, or to try to reach the source of the song, no matter what dangerous obstacles are in the way of the path (it may even just mesmerize a subject or make them want to dance).
  • Hypnotic Stare or Hypnotic Gaze is the ability to place subjects into a hypnotic trance by looking them in the eyes.
  • Hypnotic Touch or Tactile Hypnosis is the ability to place subjects into a hypnotic trance by touching them.
  • Hypnotic Voice is the ability to speak with a calm and soothing voice which places subjects into a state of extreme suggestibility.

Psychological Intuition

  • A true manipulators best quality is the capacity to see and understanding, predicting and manipulating personal behavior.

  • Able to manipulate people by making them hear what they need to follow you intentions 

Associations

Limitations

  • Users of Control Immunity are immune.
  • The user must be able to speak to control people, and subjects must be able to understand and hear the commands.
  • Someone with high intelligence or super intelligence can be resistant to it.
  • The same fault applies to those of low intellect, being too stupid to grasp the users meaning.
  • Anything that prevents the user from speaking or target from hearing blocks this power.
  • Users of Psychic Shield (highly resistant) and Psychic Immunity (impervious).
  • If wanting someone to forget something, sometimes they will make them stop thinking it but the thought would still linger in the back of their brain, and they may try to ask it again if it is a question.
  • Complex commands may be less effective than simple commands.
    • Complex command ex. - Telling your victim to bake a cake by reciting the recipe and instructions.
    • Simple command ex. - Telling your victim pick something up.
