 -Name: Coercion

 -User(s): My, as of yet, unnamed OC

 -Type: Based on the categories provided, Pyschic

 -Purpose: Again, based on the info provided, most likely Utility

 -Short description: As the name implies, coercion allows a user to manipulate and bend the minds of people to his or her will

 -Activation Cue: The user's pupils will begin to dilate frantically (frequently shrinking and enlarging). A glossy film will cover the victim's eyes, similar to cataracts

 -Range: Medium range, about 20 yards.

 -General limitations:

 *Concentration - Coercion takes massive amounts of concentration to use. If the user is distracted the semblance is broken.

 *Range - If the intended victim can make it outside of the 20 yard range of the user, the coercion will be broken. However, within that 20 yard range, the further the victim gets from the user, the weaker the hold on them becomes.

 *Number of victims - Because of the massive amounts of concentration needed to use it, the effects of Coercion become weaker as it is used (or attempted to be used) on multiple people at once.

 *Will of the Victim - The effects of Coercion depend on the will and the mental strength of the victim. Similar to a jedi mind trick, stronger willed victims will not be effected or can easily break out of the hold of the semblance. Conversely, weaker willed victims will be practically enslaved.

 *Coercion outright DOES NOT WORK on robots, cyborgs, androids, brains with cybernetic implants, or the Creatures of Grimm

 -Passive ability(s) (if any):  Long after the Coercion has been broken, the user's will may linger in the victim's subconscious for some time (essentially turning them into sleeper soldiers). However, this doesn't last forever, and these thoughts may easily be supressed by stronger willed people.

 -Active ability: Tier One: (and specific limitations, if any)

 -Active ability: Tier Two (if applicable, add more as necessary):

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;margin-bottom:0px!important;"> -Notes: So a little bit of backstory. I've been working on an OC villain for a fanfic for a while. This character is based off of Abigail Williams, a girl who was a key figure during the Salem Witch Trials of the 1600s. She is also a main character in Arthur Miller's re-telling of the Witch Trials, The Crucible. Abigail was one of the first to accuse various people of witch craft.

Interestingly enough, some works of fiction portray Abigial as a witch and her accusations merely as a ruse to avoid suspicion.

Also the fact that she began and was essentially the ringleader in many of these accusations led me to this idea for her semblance.

Another big inspiration for this was actually Emerald's semblance.
