Do I just go straight Diviner at that point though or are there other abilities that you think might fit that flavor? (Even if it has to be reflavored.)

Have abilities that control others actions like maybe suggestion would be cool I think. I'm kinda envisioning Sheldon somewhat lol

You're swinging with too much weight on your left side, the odds of you hitting me are pretty much NIL!"
