Hypnotism
From Activating Evolution
Hypnotism or Hypnosis is the psychic ability to put one into a trance-like state of extreme suggestibility one of numerous ways:
• Hypnotic Beauty, also known as Blinding Beauty is the ability to stun subjects with unnaturally good looks (trapping the subject in the thought of the user's beauty like a deer in headlights, similar to Mesmerization or Stupefaction). One with this ability usually also has Hypnotic Charm, as they tend to use their good looks to gain a seductive advantage, to get whatever they please.
• Hypnotic Stare or Hypnotic Gaze is the ability to place subjects into a hypnotic trance by looking people into the eyes, which deactivates the inhibitions of subjects (placing them into a state of extreme suggestibility); this faculty is usually accompanied by Hypnotic Voice, to make the hypnotism more effective.
• Hypnotic Charm, also known as Charisma or Animal Magnetism is the ability to hypnotically charm subjects to do one's bidding or to like the user and become doting sycophants that will do anything to please the user. The power can be used to inspire either love of an innocent sort or desire of a sexual nature, depending on the age and will of the user.
• Hypnotic Call, also known as Hypnotic Lure is the ability to draw subjects to the user without the use of music or employing lyrical undertones. It vocally draws the subject to come to the user's presence by any means necessary, even if dangerous obstacles are in the way of the path which leads to the user. It can usually be used on multiple subjects.
• Hypnotic Voice is the ability to speak with a calm voice which places subjects into a state of extreme suggestibility; this is the normal hypnotism, most common and capable of being learned by non-superhumans (although superhumans can perform it with far more ease, or it may not be able to be turned on and off at will)
• Hypnotic Song or Siren Song is the ability to vocally emit a song that subliminally causes people who hear it to follow any predetermined order that the user would have the subject follow, or to try to reach the source of the song, no matter what dangerous obstacles are in the way of the path.
One under the control of this ability could only perform the mental and physical faculties that he is able to do already, such as acting like a chicken or reliving old memories (no dying of one's own accord, controlling involuntary functions or holding one's breath for hours). However, this ability could be used for post-hypnotic suggestion, so that the suggestion made during the hypnotism (sometimes called a geas or geass) works after the trance is broken.
