Your character can dominate minds. He or she makes a hypnotic statement, either by voice or telepathy. Assuming his or her intensity is 4+, the subject must attempt a contingent action of the hypnotist's choice. This action may be delayed for any amount of time, or may be contingent on another event occurring (say, the person's sister arrives). Unlike the skill Mesmerism, this ability can implant a suggestion that the victim would otherwise not be willing to undertake. The victim goes into a trance and is not aware of his or her actions while being hypnotized or while enacting the instructions of the hypnotist.

This Power is not the same as Mind Control. The latter Power allows continued control, but Hypnosis only allows implanted commands, not long-term influence.

If your character is dependent on an item for this Power and the item is removed, the Hypnosis ends.

Stunt--Broadcastable: Your character doesn't need to be within firing distance of his or her target, instead needing only a television or radio broadcast to affect the target. This is especially effective combined with Multiple Targets.
Stunt--Empathy: Your character gains Empathy.
Stunt--Multiple Targets: Your character can affect any number of persons within the sound of his or her voice.
Stunt--Vertigo: With an intensity of 8+, your character can cause an affected victim to fall to the ground, losing any action. If the character makes a second such attack, the victim falls unconscious.
