• Mind Manipulation: Invades and disrupts the opponent's thoughts, inflicting ailments such as charming, confusing, or terrifying them.
• Emotional State Changing: Directly manipulates the enemy's emotional state, making them infatuated, happy, angry, or sad to control them or render them a non-threat.
• Paralysis: Prevents the opponent from coordinating their movements or stops them completely.
• Petrification: Turns the target into stone to restrain their movements or potentially kill them.
• Poison Manipulation: Poisons the target to slowly or rapidly kill them.
• Sleep Inducement: Forces the opponent to sleep or renders them unconscious.
• Statistics Reduction: Reduces the foe's strength, speed, intelligence, defenses, or other attributes to gain an advantage in combat.
• Time Manipulation: Stops or slows time around foes to restrain them.
• Transmutation: Converts the target into something else, like a common toad, to render them powerless.
