From the moment I first heard about mind powers, I always thought they were something complex. But you know what, now that I'm doing it, it's really not that difficult.
Making people fall asleep? Just make the brain think it's tired and the rest takes care of itself.
Want them to be completely unable to act instead of being asleep? Even easier, just 'grab' the brain and twist. People can rarely work through the crippling headaches this gives them.
Confusion took more work, but once I spotted where a person's mind keeps track of who's who in a fight, the rest fell in place fairly easily.
The one thing I think is pretty much impossible is true mind control. The amount of variables to mess with and keep under control is beyond imagining. I tried to list the things to do to control someone, and I ran out of paper before I was even close to halfway done.
I only wish I had figured out it was impossible BEFORE I tried to use it on a Bone Daddy. Oh sure, my bumbling across his brain hurt him, but when the first skull hit me in the face, I was in so much pain I could barely think, never mind trying to keep up the mental assault. Good thing my force fields are a reflex.
Even then, though, it must have been an odd sight. Imagine, a moron in a green hamster ball like force field running from a maniac lobbing skull shaped projectiles and yelling obscenities at the top of his lungs.
