Mind Manipulation

From The Character Database

Mind Manipulation is the ability to manipulate and control the minds of others.

It is associated with Telepathy and Mind Reading, and these powers are often possessed by the same characters. While basic mind manipulation can be used for psychic suggestion and simple manipulation, higher-level users can completely control others, drive them insane, plague them with illusions and hallucinations, and even rip their minds from their bodies.

Generally, we judge the potency of Mind Manipulation by both its capabilities and the number of people it can affect at once. This may range from a few individuals to entire planetary populations.

When assessing the potency of Mind Manipulation and the resistance against it, various factors are considered, such as the mechanisms involved, the number of people it can affect, its ability to break through resistances, and the magnitude of its effects. For more information, visit the Hax page.

Note: Manipulating minds by hacking inorganic beings does not count for this ability, as it would otherwise imply that this ability is a subset of altering mundane data.
