A character with this Merit can hypnotize others (or herself) using the Occult or Medicine Skills. The character must choose which of the two Skills the Merit is tied to, and write the Merit down on the character sheet as either Hypnosis (Medicine) or Hypnosis (Occult). The character can only use the chosen Skill to perform hypnosis. If the player wants the character to be able to use either Skills, he has to buy the Merit twice, once for each Skill.
Many hypnotists use equipment such as pendulums, pocket watches, simple machines that project revolving spiral patterns and the like. A subject placed in a trance becomes easily manipulated and likely to respond positively to questioning or suggestion.
This Merit is not limited to vampires or mages; it can be bought by any character.
