Hypnosis (psionic)

Hypnosis, also known as post-hypnotic suggestion, was a minor psionic devotion of the telepathic discipline that allowed one to implant a command into another creature.
==Effects==
This power was described by some as being similar to the spells charm person, charm monster, or suggestion Older variants of the power allowed one to outright instruct a creature to undertake a reasonable course of action—this meant one could not instruct a creature to do things such as killing themselves or their friends—as well as implant a post-hypnotic suggestion within their subconscious. This post-hypnotic suggestion had a small chance of wearing off with every proceeding day.
In later years, this minor devotion only allowed a psionicist to implant a post-hypnotic suggestion, as well as what situation would trigger the action. This suggestion likewise had to be a reasonable course of action, that being something that would not go against the creature's alignment.
Either version of this power could only affect creatures that were semi-intelligent or exceptionally intelligent. Anything less than or greater than this, creatures that were very dim or brilliant, were not susceptible. If the power back-fired on the psionicist, the victim would be made aware of the post-hypnotic suggestion.
