Domination

6-level Telepathic

The target must have a Open Mind to the telepath.
Prerequisites: Mindlink (ML)
PSP Cost 9
Time to Invoke: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Perceivable Actions: Psychic (P)
The user projects mental commands into the mind of one other being. The dominated target knows what’s happening, but he can’t resist the user’s will, so he is forced to do nearly anything the user wishes. The target’s abilities remain unaffected by this power, and he can be made to use any power he possesses, assuming the user knows about it. Domination doesn’t reveal facts or secrets about the target.   You attempt to beguile a creature that you have contact with. It must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by you for the duration. Due to the alien nature of their mind, non humanoids have advantage to their initial saving throw.   While charmed you have a telepathic link with it as long as the two of you are on the same plane of existence. You can use this telepathic link to issue commands to the creature while you are conscious (no action required), which it does its best to obey. You can specify a simple and general course of action, such as "Attack that creature," "Run over there," or "Fetch that object." If the creature completes the order and doesn't receive further direction from you, it defends and preserves itself to the best of its ability.   You can use your action to take total and precise control of the target. Until the end of your next turn, the creature takes only the actions you choose, and doesn't do anything that you don't allow it to do. During this time, you can also cause the creature to use a reaction, but this requires you to use your own reaction as well.   Each time the target takes damage, it makes a new Wisdom saving throw against the power. If the saving throw succeeds, the power ends.
Intensify:
When you use additional PSP the duration can be extended. With +1 the duration is concentration, up to 10 minutes. When you use an additional 3, the duration is concentration, up to 1 hour. When you add 4, the duration is concentration, up to 8 hours.
