This type of spell includes all forms of illusions and tricks of the mind, both to your
own or another's. Spells to entrap the mind or to send your enemies in a mindless bloodrage both belong in this category. Not all Manipulative Arts are mind-affecting effects. If a Manipulative Art spell is dispelled, it is usually only dispelled on one creature at a time (see Illusion Dispel or spells description for details). The relevant ability score for Manipulative Arts is Charisma, and perform requirements are met with the Manipulative Arts skill.
A compulsion spell forces the subject to act in some manner or changes the way his mind works. Some compulsion effects determine the subject’s actions or the effects on the subject, some compulsion effects allow you to determine the subject’s actions when you perform the spell, and others give you ongoing control over the subject. All Compulsion Manipulative Arts are mind-affecting effects.
This subtype uses only gaze attacks as a medium for delivering illusions. A character adverting his eyes has a 50% chance to be unaffected by a Doujutsu
(but also has a 50% automatic miss chance).
A phantasm spell creates a mental image that usually only the user and the subject (or subjects) can perceive. This impression is totally in the minds of the subjects. It is a personalized mental impression. Third parties, if the technique allows for any, viewing or studying the scene don’t notice the phantasm. If a phantasm technique does not target any particular creature, everyone and everything around it is affected. All phantasms are mind-affecting effects.
