Yoi pours a fine stream of crystals, crystals so fine they seem like powder, over the woman's brow. "You are under the onus of a dark power," he intones. "A power which veils your mind. This power controls your actions, your thoughts. I will help you resist this power. I will show you the way. You must grow tranquil, serene. Fearful thoughts subside. Emotions wane. All fear ends with me. My voice, my touch, my presence. I am the way and the light. The alpha and the omega, beginning and ending. There is no other."
