It has long been known that our subconscious mind is a powerful force and that it can be influenced in mysterious ways, but until a forgotten [[Syssin (class)|Syssin]] discovered the principles of '''Hypnosis''', there was no way to use it.

|description =        SEAL <target> <3-60 seconds>
|-
        SNAP <target>
 
This ability allows you to implant various suggestions within the mind of your target, providing
they are already hypnotised.
 
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,
and then finally end once there are none left.

{{AB
|skillname = Sleights
|syntax = SHADOW SLEIGHT <effect> <target>
|description =
Bend the shadows to perform your bidding. Sleights cannot be performed while you do not possess
shadow balance.
 
Effects
-------
Dissipate - Knock the target off pill balance.
Abrasion  - Knock the target off poultice balance.

{{AB
|skillname = Trigger
|syntax = SUGGEST <target> TRIGGER <word>
|description =
This special suggestion will instill a trigger word into your opponent. By speaking this word out
loud after sealing your opponent, you will be able to trigger the hypnosis.
 
This offers no benefit over snapping your fingers in front of the target, however it does offer a
different kind of satisfaction to the hypnotist.
 
}}
 
{{AB
|skillname = Marks
|syntax = SHADOW MARK <effect> <target>
|description =
Place a mark of shadow upon another, providing they aren't protected by the fangbarrier defence.

quickly fade.
 
Effects
-------
Thorns    - Causes them to bleed when they eat.
Fatigue  - Mental fatigue will slow their focusing down.
Numbness  - Numb skin will make the tree tattoo slower.
 
A target may only bear one mark at any time. Placing another will clear any previous marks.

analyse yourself.

|description =
With experience you are now able to HYPNOTISE, SUGGEST, and SEAL from behind the veil of phase. You
will not however be able to activate the hypnosis without being on the same phase level as your
target.
 
Note that hypnotising from phase carries heightened risks, and a hypnosis attempt will be slightly
easier to detect.

}}
 
{{AB
|skillname = Eradicate
