Description
•HYPNOTIST: A cog hypnotist is one that can induce a state of unconscious, obedient tranquility upon willing participants through eye contact. Cogs with strong hypnotic abilities can briefly control properties like the victim's self esteem, moral and state of arousal and can also induce hypnosis upon an unwilling participant.
Several incidents can induce the ability of hypnotism through cogs. Research has been done on a cogs' ability to be hypnotized and to see if one can be deliberately programmed to be "hypnotized" (basically trying to create this power in cogs straight from the factory) but the full magic properties cannot be implemented into one that way. A true hypnotist cog forms when they receive major trauma, particularily to the head. Their eyes will become deformed in some way, usually involving psychedelic colors.
•VIBE CHANNELER: Cogs can form unique sensory links with all of those that they grow close to. The ability to form them varies among every one, and that can range from spawning them almost immediately to barely being able to muster them after years. This is innate and not due to a cog's ability to empathize or grow close to someone, but there's a special enhanced ability that that does measure those. Cogs who have remarkable abilities to empathize, comfort, and put out good feelings grow an ability to channel these efforts to someone from far away. It doesn't always work, but when it does, the recipient will be shrouded in a blanket of serenity and comfort.
