Can you hypnotize people?
“As someone who were born into the mental realm, I have become quite adept at manipulating it to my will. Though, my ability to affect others’ actions is vaguer than the mindless brainwashing that you probably have in mind.
I can merely give urges, subconscious desires to perform certain actions or follow certain goals. Though mind you, such urges can be quite powerful, and.. not always rational. Only exceptionally strong-willed humans have managed to resist so far, for how can you stop something when your mind is so thoroughly convinced to do it? Most don’t even notice anything off in the first place.
Of course, this is not my standard way of going about things. There is after all no fun playing tag with yourself now, is there? Besides..”

“There is nothing in the world like a genuine scream.”
