The power to communicate with corpses and humans.
Used by Janus Hect, Created by jumbohiggins.
(Activating this Effect is not obvious. The only sign you are using an Effect is Janus eyes change color from brown to blue. )

Janus reflects on his time in the cult and his slow but progressive indoctrination. How his food was subtly diminished, sleeping times were shifted, independence and decision making were shelved. How all of his behaviors were subtly curtailed to fitting what the cult wanted. He then tries to recreate a minor example of that on another in order to better understand them and their traumas.

Behavior Control (Examples)

* Promote dependence and obedience
* Modify behavior with rewards and punishments
* Dictate where and with whom you live
* Restrict or control sexuality
* Control clothing and hairstyle
* Regulate what and how much you eat and drink
* Deprive you of sleep
* Exploit you financially
* Restrict leisure time
* Require you to seek permission.
