Belief induction
Held by:	Alethea Thorn
Ability to:	Induce belief in others using speech

Belief induction is the ability to manipulate others by making them believe in something using verbal remarks.

Characters

• Alethea Thorn has this ability. (Faction Zero)

Limits

Alethea can manipulate people so they do her bidding by making them believe anything she wishes. Her targets must be able to hear her, such that blocking one's hearing can block the effects of her ability. It is unconfirmed as to whether the ability acts through speech alone.

Examples

• Alethea uses her ability on Vic, telling him it is a life or death situation that she find Claire, causing him to panic. (Chapter 2 of Faction Zero)
• Alethea also tells Vic he is sick and should leave, prompting him to do so. (Chapter 2 of Faction Zero)
• Alethea uses her ability on Claire to make her hand over her car and house keys, but Hiro and Ando snap Claire out of it. (Chapter 2 of Faction Zero)
