Persuasion, also known as Suggestion, is the power to implant subtle suggestions into a person's mind in order to manipulate their actions and affect the way they think at the moment. The power often takes advantage of the victim's deepest emotions, such as fear, and their desires in order to make them vulnerable to the suggestions.

Overview[]

The users of this ability usually familiarize themselves with the potential victim and get them to open up about their feelings such as pain, fear or desires. During this emotionally vulnerable state, the user will telepathically link themselves to the victims, making it possible to control their minds and thoughts. Once the victim is in this hypnotic trance state, they can then be manipulated to do anything the user desires. In some cases, they can be manipulated to hurt others or themselves, some even go as far as to manipulate their victim into taking their own life.

As shown with Brenda and Lucy, some suggestions don't immediately work, with the victim even questioning the ideas, but can be circumvented by opening the emotional wound wider. Sometimes, this power can be defeated by finding inner peace and letting go of the emotions that made one vulnerable.

History[]

In "Kappa Spirit", the ghost, Brenda Mancini, used this power to prey on brokenhearted Kappa sorority sisters who felt betrayed by their friends. She used this to amplify their thoughts and feelings, making them more and more vulnerable to suggestion. For example, she told Lucy to jump to her death, but with the help of the Charmed Ones, Lucy snaps out of the trance state.
