Charles looks at his targets, eyeing them precariously before he waves his hand, his glove a glint of purple as he snaps, the glove creating almost like a spark of pure psychic energy as a wave appear from around him and pushes those he targeted away from him. He refined this ability after being surrounded by groups of enemy.
Yet this required refinement and attunement, as the power comes directly from his stomach making it much more susceptible to nausea.

You cannot issue another suggestion to the target until 10 minutes after they have completed the first command or 10 minutes after a failure.
They will be unaware that they are under any sort of compulsion until the effect wears off, but they will appear obviously mind-controlled the entire time to anyone observing them. If you fail, they realize that you were attempting to influence them supernaturally with your command.
Your command can be an order to take an immediate Action, a conditional request, and an abstract goal.
