This ability will allow you to begin the process of hypnotism. Once you have your target in a
vulnerable state, you will be able to implant suggestions within his mind. If you leave the
location of your target before they have been sealed, then suggestions will slowly begin to fall
off the target until none remain.
while your hypnosis attempts will be hidden to your target, you should be mindful that there are
abilities that allow you to detect intrusions upon the mind.

This ability allows you to implant various suggestions within the mind of your target, providing

Once you have implanted all the suggestions that you wish, you can then seal the target, and then
snap your fingers at them to activate the hypnosis. Depending on the timer you set when you sealed
their mind, it will take a few moments for the hypnosis to begin.
This will cycle them through all the suggestions you have made, starting from your first suggestion,
