I got unholy ghosts with their hands around my neck...
-- Hypnosis --
Hypnosis or mesmerization by definition is the ability to influence others. The touch is subtle at first but grows with age and experience. It swells to create great walls between allies and enemies. It serves a magician who is unaware of his gift. Reinhart subtly influences others to comply with his own desires, which may fall under a vast array of things. At higher levels, he will see that he is able to make larger suggestions to others successfully. His failures will lessen, and his ability to protect others will increase. This ability is not just a tool that the thief uses to steal. This ability is what creates his silver tongue, and keeps innocent youths from running into trouble. It keeps his sister safe. Those who are precious find solace in Reinhart's silver tongue. Whether he uses it to reassure vipers or persuade someone to look the other way for a minor transgression, he often uses this ability to help others.
Quick words from a silver tongue.
-- Parvus Magic --
As with much of Reinhart's obliviousness to his magic, his Parvus magic follows a similar suit. His Parvus magic makes him seem more trustworthy and approachable. His presence to some may seem soothing due to this Parvus magic, although others may feel uneasy in his presence. His Parvus magic is greatly influenced by his mood and body language. Reinhart's focus and desires play a larger part in this magic's influence. If he is happy and excited, then his presence is soothing and approachable. If he is enraged he will give off a silent warning to those in his vicinity, making them uneasy and wary to approach him.
-- Discipuli --
With great concentration placed upon others, and quick words slipping from his tongue, Reinhart can minimally influence others to align with his desires. What he does not use his understanding of social encounters and the emotions of others, he will impose upon another a sense of agreeability. At this level, Reinhart can only accomplish small things such as deterring or redirecting anger. He is able to minimally soothe others as if to simply give their emotions a gentle push towards peace. Reinhart is unable to utilize his magic unless he continues talking, and it only comes in small doses. It is more likely that he will redirect someone's attention to him than greatly influence others for anything. There are small bursts that tell him exactly what to say or do. He has no control over these bursts, they come intermittently. His magic often rises up when he feels the need to protect others, it is what rouses his magic.
The silver tongue has no explanation for his fatigue when he becomes the wall between allies and enemies.
-- Vexillum --
As Reinhart becomes more adept at social activities, the more his magic grows. He is able to impose a suggestion upon another with slightly more success than before. Whoever is subjected to his magic becomes slightly more agreeable than before. They become more open to suggestions and at the time may become lost in the cadence of his words. The progression of this hypnotic state is gradual and takes a great amount of effort and time to accomplish. Reinhart can sway others towards his line of thinking at this level, but his victim still must willingly make the decisions themselves. He is able to penetrate apprehensive emotions in others, and nudge them towards one that is better suited for a given scenario. Perhaps he wants a guard to take an alternate route at a certain time, he may be able to convince them to do so. His words become smoother, and more well rounded than before. The bursts of clarity come more frequently, it is as this stage he begins to notice patterns in social behavior if he speaks with someone long enough. His magic is more effective with those he is close to.
The silver tongue learns to breathe ash and hate. He still has no answers for his fatigue.
-- Periti --
At this stage in development, his magic becomes easier to rouse than simply when danger presents itself. Reinhart is much more charismatic than ever before and finds it easier to relate to those who are total opposites of him. He is much better at convincing others to align themselves with him and his desires. His words flow like liquid gold, and the flourish of emotions he has mesmerizes others much more quickly. It still takes a great deal of concentration for Reinhart, who is still unaware of his gift, to accomplish larger tasks. His ability to request smaller tasks has improved greatly at this stage. Reinhart has taken to protecting the children of the downtrodden of Denocte, and frequently tests his abilities out on guards seeking to reprimand them. He is slowly growing able to influence the aristocrats of Denocte when they stop to listen to the wild tales he spins. It still takes hours for him to accomplish some tasks. At this level Reinhart is beginning to fool the authority, he is becoming an elegant liar. It is not until one is outside Reinhart's ring of influence that they are able to realize any oddities about him.
The silver tongue becomes a liar.
-- Dominus --
Reinhart's magic flows from him effortlessly, like liquid that is pulled down by gravity. He is able to charm his way into almost any social circle and win the hearts of even the sourest of beasts. The silver tongue is capable of suggesting higher caliber tasks, it is said he is able to convince a King that his throne belongs to someone else. Reinhart almost never needs to lift a hoof to dissuade someone from violence or any other ill-intentioned situation. Others become quickly mesmerized by his charm and eloquence. Gone are the days of quick flowing words for the sake of a distraction, and replaced with something new. Something vibrant. Reinhart is so capable of hypnotizing others that he could convince almost anyone that copper is gold. It takes a great amount of use before he begins to feel the rough edges of exhaustion fill him. Still, Reinhart does not know he has magic, and he simply believes by practicing socializing that he is accomplishing such great feats. He no longer needs to rely on the participant willingly deciding upon his suggestions, most will comply with them almost effortlessly. This can only be done while in his presence, as the effects of this wear off rapidly when away from Reinhart.
The silver tongue creates his own reality
