"The sixth element is spirit magic, also called black magic, for it's ability to manipulate the soul of another being [Wen Tardiv, Notes on Black Magic, page 95]...It is possible black magic gifted it's users with a second, scarier ability: Power over the mind. Because of magic's close link to the mind as well as the soul, and the few records that remain from the times Pre-rending, there is evidence to suggest that mages were capable of 'speaking truths into the minds of those who knew them false, and mesmerize any whose name was uttered on willing lips' [Shi Ghin, A Warlock's Account, page 24]. However, no such evidence has been found to prove the existence of such powers, except in ancient texts."
