The Mesmer

The mesmer is a powerful hypnotic abilty used by Tumbletops primarily, and is prohibited for wizards by their laws, yet it only consumes the tiniest drop of magical abilty and can be layered. It is a two-pronged attack, using both voice and eyes to lure opponent's wills to bend. Without either, the mesmer will fail.

Abilities
The mesmer can be used to bend other beings' will so that they are under the control of the caster. In this way, the caster has full access to the brain and can be used to erase memories from the brain in a blanket wipe in which all memories within a certain time space are removed, or (with the use of a Tumbletop Memory-Eraser 1000) erase specific memories, which has been useful in treating Barbarians.

Examples from the books
''Max decided the best course of action would be to mesmerize her. He pulled up his magic, letting it shine through his eyes and mouth. "Tell me, what troops were you talking about?" He asked her. She replied "I can't tell you. It's a secret for me and my stuffed animals." She giggled happily. Intresting, Max noted. The mesmer turned off some functions and replaced them with previous memories. "Sorry, stuffed animals" Max mumbled before diving into the depths of her brain. Molly convulsed, as anyone would do when a drop of magic explores their minds. Yet she had planned for something like this to happen, and Max did not go far before hitting a barrier of used magic. The residue magic inside her brain had been channalled into a sheild of crusty magic. The magic repelled Max's mesmer, so he instead ran through recent memories, plans, etc. Yet the memories went back less than a minute ago, making them useless.''
