Hatsu: Feedback Control Type: Manipulation

Description and Conditions:

A person who is to be affected by Feedback Control has to criticise something the user is doing, in earshot of the user while he is doing it, and ask him to adjust his behaviour in a specified manner. They cannot be aware of this Hatsu's effects or that the user has it activated, or it will not take effect. If the user adjusts his behaviour according to what the critic has prescribed for him, this Hatsu will start affecting the critic. Depending on whether the criticism was constructive or demeaning (standards set according to the user's judgement), they will have one of the following relationships established with the user. This Hatsu can establish only one of each of these relationships at a time.

Constructive. Help me more, please! The target will be forced to give genuine advice, if they have any, for the next activity the user performs in front of them -- or the next plan of action the user confides to them. Information they would normally not provide can be obtained in this way, and they cannot shut up in any way until they have completed giving the advice. They will then be freed of this Hatsu's effects.

Demeaning. How about you do it, then? The user will have to declare another task and genuinely fail at it in presence of the target. If they utter a verbal reaction to this, then they will then have to successfully, or to the best of their ability, complete this task in the user's place. They will then be freed of this Hatsu's effects.
