Manipulation Magic

History
Throughout the centuries, Manipulation Magic has been considered one of the purest forms of evil Magic. While Magic itself is an ancient art, it is said that Manipulation Magic is one of the elite types of Magic--exclusionary to those who are born with it. For as long as anyone can remember, Manipulation Magic has not only been condemned in wider circles of society, but on the individual scale as well; Blood Born mothers have tried their best to dilute not only their own magic, but other types. Should their child be born with Manipulation Magic, then there was an unspoken societal duty of the mother to either suppress that kind of magic in their child, or teach the child to use any other kind of Magic. In recent years, there have been witches advocating for the legality of Manipulation Magic, though efforts have mostly been futile. Modern day Magic laws condemning Manipulation Magic vary from place to place, however, a wide majority of witches today believe the use of Manipulation Magic is unethical, and should be avoided at all costs.

Use
Manipulation Magic is widely known for its success in taking control over another person without fail. Because of its rarity, many Manipulation users are Blood Born, and thus, have an innate knowledge in successful usage. Unlike other types of Magic, practice, studying, and training can only do so much for those who aren't Blood Born. Many witches who decide to learn this craft can not exceed expectation, nor can they ever compete with those who are born with it. Blood Born users often have the knowledge and power to take over whole parts of someone's brain, or, take complete control of their victim; they are often able to control someone's speech, silencing them completely. Motor control may be inhibited, imagery may be altered, and in some cases, even a witch's physical form may be altered. Physical alteration is usually among the rarer forms of Manipulation Magic, and only occurs in every couple births. Physical alteration is not to be confused with shapeshifting, or anthropomorphic Magic. Notable Manipulation users include Lorelei, and her son, Reed.
