Certain aspects of this ability can be achieved through spell casting, potion making or the use of magical objects or substances.
Branches of Somnokinesis[]
Sleep Inducement[]
Sleep Inducement is the ability to put beings to sleep at will. The effects of this ability can also be achieved through the use of sleeping spells and potions. Empaths with emotion- manipulating abilities may learn to use their power to incept sleepiness into an individual. When used, the intended target falls to sleep almost instantly.

Charity Callahan used some sort of sleeping spell on Macy in "Memento Mori". The full effect of the spell is not shown, though Macy is shown to rapidly fall backwards before waking up in the Vortex Viribus.
