Hypnotism is a discipline of personal magic. The wizard unleashes their own Djed through their eyes, voice, presence and mannerism, inducing effects in the minds of those around them. Hypnotism is most effective upon eye contact, but if the user is competent, voice and demeanor are enough to cause suggestions, hallucinations and even full bewitchment. Acting and rhetoric ability are very important for this discipline to achieve maximum effect.
