Victims will find it harder to go against the commands of the caster.

"Hold off your horses. I'm just here to advise a friend who unfriended me. Stop messing with their emotions. We both know how it goes down with or without your manipulations." "It's blessings, stop wording my powers wrong!" Iridescent's alias among fae is Heart Manipulator. She possesses the ability to influence human emotions. The words she speaks worked as a stimulant and by her own discretion she could heighten or drop the level of one's feelings.

You will make it harder for both gir---"

“Yes princess, I'm a bit tired, once I take a nap I'll be fine.” “Oh, I see I really wanted to talk to you about something very important but I'll wait” “Oh thank you dear, when I'm ready I'll send for you okay ?” “Okay, sleep tight daddy. I'll just think of a solution myself” Slowly bringing out the manipulative card and testing if it's working. She leans forward to give a kiss on the cheek.

"The guy is manipulative," he states at last, in a lower and calmer voice. "He gets into people's minds, makes them see what he wants them to see. He phrases things under an idea so that you could even trust him to take care of you, and then…." "And then what?" I demanded, sticking tight around my throat. "He uses you and, when he is done, destroys everything," he said simply.

“I guess… I guess the thing that kept replaying in my mind before making up my mind was her reaction. I overthought about it and I even had prepared replies for anything she had to say.” “Thank you for sharing this with us.” The professor smiles at the girl before looking back at the rest of us. “Manipulative people are experts at making you feel guilty. Most of them are narcissists by the way. I think more than eighty-five per cent of the manipulative people I’ve met in my life turned out to be narcissists too. There are red alerts that reveal manipulators. I would like to hear some from you.” I raise my hand and the professor

His hands left Anne's body but his gaze didn't leave her. "You see, within two months, I've realized it's so easy to manipulate someone, anyone in fact. You can make someone think they're the enemy when in fact you are. You can make someone think they owe you something when in fact they don't. You can make someone feel they're making up stories against you when they're not. I know this because I did it to someone I loved and it was terrible. But now I know how easy it is, I can't possibly ever fall for it again." He kept moving until he came up to Jason and Gabby while the others who'd come to help her quickly dispersed under his intimidating stance.

The chewing motion should give you something to fidget with and make you less tense." "It had an opposite effect. I thought you said gun and my heart nearly fell out my ass."

No. I'll hopefully be gone by then.

I pushed and writhed against him, trying to escape him. “Maybe this is what you want. Right? You want to be manhandled.
