Confessing
The power that binds a person wholly to a Confessor.
Confession is the magical power of the Confessors in The Sword of Truth. Anyone touched by it becomes entirely devoted to the Confessor, will do anything she asks and answers any question she puts truthfully, which is how the Confessors got their name.
Background
Confession erases everything a person was or cared about and replaces it with a burning need to please the Confessor. Its one weakness is that a Confessor can use it only once before she must rest and recharge, for a time that differs from one Confessor to another. Some Confessors can tap Con'dar, the Blood Rage, a Subtractive power that puts them in a trance, lets them call down lightning and makes their Confession unlimited. The touch of a Confessor is a violent, agonising death for a Mord-Sith.
