Negative Ray

The Negative Ray is an energy wave technique used by Denga and Discorretzorg.
==Overview==
The Negative Ray is a beam of energy that is fired from the user's right hand-replacing second mouth after a short charging time. The move does no direct damage, but instead instantly brainwashes the target, inverting the target's personality. Depending on the portrayal, the brainwashed target may have a partially desaturated color scheme.
When used by Discorretzorg, the technique also gives the user a corporeal form of the brainwashed target's former personality. This manifestation may be returned to the target to undo the negative ray's effects on the target. It is unknown whether Denga is also capable of doing this.
Despite not being an offensive technique that does direct damage, the Negative Ray has practicality in combat, as it makes an assailant immediately lose interest in apprehending the user. When Denga goes on a rampage, he uses it against multiple targets, causing them to embrace the ensuing chaos instead of trying to stop it. When Girt becomes crazed with his newfound power after absorbing Retzorg's Magic Chromium Armor, Discorretzorg uses the Negative Ray to make him act lethargically before they eventually return Girt's personality once Mimi appears as a threat.
==Trivia==
*The Negative Ray is based on Discord's ability to corrupt ponies, as the effects of Discord's brainwashing and the Negative Ray are identical. Only the means of the two techniques are different.
*While Denga's charging of the Negative Ray is shown, this is not the case for Discorretzorg, though this is likely just done for the sake of brevity in visual storytelling.
