Hypnosis (skill)
Hypnosis
Hypnosis is a science.
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 Saboteur discovered the principles of Hypnosis, there was no way to use it.
With this skill, a Saboteur is able to sink a target into a hypnotic trance, possibly without the target even realising it. The Saboteur may then implant various subliminal suggestions, sealing them deep within the target's mind. Implanting a subtle timer, the Saboteur then rouses the target from his or her hypnotic trance, waiting for the proper time to trigger the suggestions within the target's mind.
