Mesmerism, also referred to as Mesmerizing, is the power to control a person through eye contact. This power seems to be channeled solely through the user's eyes, placing those that they make eye contact with under a trance where they are compelled to obey the user's commands. The beings with the use of this power are known as mesmerists.

Overview[]

The user's eyes will glow when this power is in effect and their target's eyes will dilate as they go under the trance. It appears that the target might not remember that they were mesmerized, unless they are already aware of the power of the mesmerist. A mesmerist can mesmerize someone to react in a specific way when they encounter certain circumstances, even if the mesmerist isn't nearby, as seen from when Lucy was compelled to do Alastor's bidding simply by reading text messages.

A target can resist commands or break themselves out of the trance by causing themselves pain, a technique that Julia Wagner employed to protect herself from Alastor. According to the Book of Shadows, only the mesmerist can unmesmerize their victims.

Trivia[]

  • While the original Book of Shadows entry for Mesmerism states that there are several species of magical creatures with the ability, the only beings to ever be shown wielding this power in the series were two demons. Thus, it remains unclear what other types of magical beings may possess this ability.
