“Spellbinder,” Joyce said. When I looked a bit confused, she added, “An enchanter, but specialized in control.
He keeps three or four Others with him at all times. I named him
because he broke the rules. He’s paranoid, and doesn’t really associate
with people. Only Others. We’d hoped to use her as a way to bring him back to society, to get him involved. But we underestimated his
paranoia.”
“What happened?”
“He bound his wife. To keep her from passing information on to us. Bound her mind and bound her bodies, so she only does what he says.”
“Hypnosis?” I asked.
“The binding is as solid as hypnosis is soft and vague. He’s…

Methodology
Enchantresses and Enchanters manipulate the connections between people and things, and the ties that bind them all together. This enables manipulating awareness, memories, emotions, ownership or even Fate to an extent while masking their own connections. Even a novice can be devastatingly effective against an ordinary person and skilled users can even take away a Familiar and make it their own, so forming any kind of connection with one is risky because they can use and exploit it.
Often enchanters will use Spirits to manipulate connections, but there are other means of use as well.
