Dominate is the Discipline of controlling the minds of others, from simple acts like forcing thoughts and actions to modifying memories.

Powers

Level 1: Command

With eye contact you can force a target with less Willpower than you to follow a command, a short phrase of instruction they can act on immediately. The effect subsides when they have completed the task, or after a minute or two if the task has no clear completion.

Level 2: Mesmerize

With eye contact you can put a target with less Willpower than you into a hypnotic state. While in this state they don't remember what they are told, but can be given a complex set of instructions triggered by specific circumstances. The target leaves the hypnotic state when you break eye contact (normal blinking excluded) and the instructions remain active for one day if the target is Kindred or one week if the target is mortal.

Level 3: Forgetful Mind

With eye contact you can edit the memories of a target with less Willpower than you. They are put into a hypnotic state while you instruct them to what they should remember.

Level 4: Decree

You can issue a loud and clear decree to one or multiple targets, all who have less Willpower than you are affected by any one of the lower level Dominate abilities. The words spoken should make it clear what the effect is, so that any character hearing your Decree that has more Willpower than you knows what you have done.
