The Controller attunement specializes in mental compulsion effects. Those with the controller attunement are capable of forcing those around them to do as they command. Controllers have a primary mana type of perception mana and a secondary of enhancement mana, which can be combined to make coercion mana. At citrine, they gain access to umbral mana[1].

Controllers typically use perception mana manipulate how people analyze situations to control their behavior. Controllers typically slowly add mana into the air and their spell to prolong their control effects and make them more powerful. Most Controller spells are linked to the attuned's voice, and so the effects can often be broken by sufficiently changing or blocking the Controller's voice[2].

The Controller attunement is most commonly found in the Tiger Spire in Caelford[1].

Political Importance

Due to the nature of the controller attunement, those with the attunement face heavy regulations limiting how and where they can use it.[citation needed]

Controllers are frequently employed by the government to assist in trials and interrogations[3].

Attunement Features

Features that are a result of specific attunement functions, rather than the types of mana available to the attuned.

Mental Compulsion

Main article: Mental Compulsion

The Primary ability of a controller is their ability to exert complete control over others. Once the spell has taken effect, the target has no choice but to follow the directive until the controller ends the spell or they break out of the spell[3]. For details on resisting or breaking out of mental compulsion, see the main article on compulsion.
