AH! Thank you, I could not for the life of me remember! Also, what a perfect counter! @Spirited

Spirited was correct on every aspect Phantom. I'm highly impressed, I didn't have to explain anything. *bows to Spirited*

Just a few points:

Yes, he uses that ability sparingly. He takes tremendous care of his voice. I am indeed a singer, currently going to college to be a vocal coach. I know the risks and limitations such an ability would impose. Which is why I balanced it the way I did. There is no change in pitch nor volume once he activates his semblance. It's just a ear curdling scream tinged with Aura that drives you crazy. Breathing is not a problem either. He knows proper breathe support and control. Not that he would need it, seeing as how intense his screams are. Besides, when I say "prolong" I mean it in two ways: A. Continously screams until victim's will is broken B. Periodically keeps screaming at the victim. The same result is achieved. The second option just allows him to have tea breaks.

I wouldn't call that mind control. It's like going to the army and being subjected to conditioning that breaks the recruits down, making them subservient to their commanders. This is the same concept, albeit greatly enhanced. And as I said, Spirited is right. The victims do have a chance of regaining their wills. Which is why my character dispenses of them once they've completed their purpose. Not to mention, an open battlefield, and/or area, that ability is useless. *Shrugs*

Last, but not least, he's a villain. He needs to have a frightening semblance that seems "cheap". I want him to have one. Makes it more difficult to stop him. It makes his enemies fear him even more. It makes the heroes think twice about how they approach him. He is a terrifying force, but he isn't an unbeatable one. I wonder how SAGE is going to handle him.
