Dominate is the discipline that gave the vampires of legend the ability to control the thoughts and actions of others (usually hapless mortals).
BASIC
Command
By engaging in eye contact, a Kindred can issue a one-word command which the subject must obey (provided it is not blatently self-destructive).
Forgetful Mind
This Discipline allows a Kindred to add, alter or erase a subject's memories. It is limited to a single event, and can't effect more than 15 minutes of the subject's life. It can also detect previous uses of Forgetful Mind on a subject.
INTERMEDIATE
Mesmerism
Like the name implies, this Discipline is a sort of hypnosis. A "trigger" and "effect" can be placed in a subject's mind. Again, it cannot be self-destructive. Once the command has been fulfilled (with the subject unaware of why he/she performed that action), the mesmerism is lifted.
Conditioning
Like cults, this Discipline allows the wielder to reprogram a subject. It will produce a simple, very loyal, slave. It can also be used to reverse the effects of a previous Conditioning.
ADVANCED
Possession
This Discipline is very similar to the Auspex ability Psychic Projection, except that your conscious actually takes control of another body.
