Limits

The ability can be used to finely control the movements of people, paralysing them and forcing them to do one's will. It can also prevent someone from using an ability or force someone to do so, if there is movement usually associated with their ability. Most characters prefer to use gestures to control these people, but this isn't completely necessary. Several people can be controlled at once, and no line of vision is necessary to maintain control. It is also possible to manipulate the motor functions of machines and movable objects, but this tends to be used more rarely.
