Introduction:
Theme: Emotional Dominance. Luna's use of mentalism is almost entirely focused on manipulating people's emotions and her mutations reflect that.
Apprentice:
Luna’s emotions rubs off on those she’s speaking to. This only works on one person at a time and she has to be within touching distance from her. So, if Luna is happy the person she’s speaking to will start to feel slightly happy as well. The effects are weak but it makes it so stimulating that emotion is easier. The drawback is that Luna can’t turn this off. So, if she’s happy and wants to make someone sad, it actually hurts her efforts.
Journeyman:
Luna's emotional manipulation is most often used on one person at a time. Because of this her emotional manipulation becomes more effective with eye contact and less effective without it.
Expert:
When Luna manipulates someone's mural, she can add herself to their mural so that the thought of her persists for long periods of time. For example, she could cause someone to think of her and associate her with an emotion of her choosing. This has similar drain and duration as an Obelisk.
Master:
Having specialized in the manipulative side of Mentalism, Luna is able to perform Apprehend and Unravel with increased efficiency and is unlikely to overstep when using these abilities, though unfavorable circumstances can still push her to her limits. The drawback is that she has difficulty performing the combat-oriented master level abilities. Even one usage of those abilities is enough to put Luna on the edge of overstepping.
