Like a Glove

You wake up with a strange ability. You can connect your mind to anyone nearby. Once linked to them, they mirror your emotions and desires like they are a mere extension of yourself.

The effects can be subtle, leaving them unaware and simply nudging them in any direction you want, or intense, changing them into your meat puppets. But be careful, if you do not keep your emotions at bay you might be surprised to see them expressed by your victims in unexpected ways!

Note: Victims remain aware and autonomous but simply find their will and emotions to be replaced by mirrors of yours. They can't directly tell that they are no longer doing what they want, but rather what you want, but they can realize something is amiss if you make them act in very unusual ways, especially after the fact, once the connection is severed. Sure, memories can be suppressed, but be careful not to let your victims out of your sight before you take care of it...
