With the skill of '''Hypnosis''', members of the [[Serpent]] [[:Category:Classes|class]] are able to implant subliminal messages into the minds of their victims and bend them to their will. Hypnotic [[:Category:Abilities|ability]] may also be used to cause [[afflictions]], such as [[hypochondria]].
Where a skill like Venom is a naturally developed ability, and a skill like Subterfuge is an ability with many magical elements, Hypnosis is a science. It has long been known that our subconscious mind is a powerful force and that it can be influenced in mysterious ways, but until a forgotten Serpentlord discovered the principles of Hypnosis, there was no way to use it.


===Abilities in Hypnosis===
With this skill, a practitioner of Hypnosis will be able to sink someone into a hypnotic trance, possibly even without them realising it, and implant various subliminal suggestions. They can then seal their victim's mind and implant a timer that determines how long after the hypnosis has been triggered until the suggestions start becoming active.

| bgcolor=#FF99FF | [[Addiction]]
|detail=This ability is the basis for all hypnotic manipulation. First you must hypnotise a victim, to seize control of his or her mind. This can take several seconds.<p>Once a trance is secured, you may begin implanting hypnotic suggestions, and finally seal the victim's trance. Once this is complete, you may snap your victim to trigger their trance, and the hypnotic suggestions shall begin to fire in rapid succession.</p>

|detail=The act of sealing a hypnotic trance primes it for use. You may seal your trance at any time for three seconds and upwards, and suggestions tick periodically every four seconds there after.<p>However, if you seal your trance while your victim suffers from a deadened mind, the trance will sink more deeply into their psyche, tying itself more intrinsically and becoming vastly more potent when triggered(*).<br>* The delay can be set as low as one second, and the suggestions trigger every three seconds there after.</br>
