Powers
The following are powers in the Mind Control powerset.
Confuse
You can confuse an enemy, forcing him to believe his friends are not who they appear to be. If successful, the enemy will ignore you and attack his own allies. If you confuse someone before he has noticed you, your presence will continue to be masked. You will not receive any experience points for foes defeated by a confused enemy.

Dominate
Painfully tears at the mind of a single foe. Dominate deals psionic damage and renders a foe helpless, lost in his own mind and unable to defend himself.

Mass Confusion
You can cause mass confusion within a group of foes, creating chaos. All affected foes within the area will turn and attack each other, ignoring all your allies. If you confuse your foes before they noticed you, your presence will continue to go unnoticed. You will not receive any experience points for foes defeated entirely by confused enemies.

Mass Hypnosis
Hypnotizes a group of foes at a distance and puts them to sleep. The targets will remain asleep for some time, but will awaken if attacked. This power deals no damage, but if done discreetly, the targets will never be aware of your presence.

Telekinesis
Lifts a foe, and any nearby foes, off the ground and repels them. The targets are helpless, unable to take action, and will continue to hover away, picking up any passing targets, as long as you keep this power active. Keeping up this level of concentration costs a lot of endurance.

Terrify
This power terrifies foes within a cone area in front of you, causing them to tremble in fear uncontrollably. The effect is so frightening and overwhelming that the target takes real damage from the physiological response to this psionic attack.
