Illusion is largely a mind control skill.

What if there was a spell that let you mind control other beings, or dead bodies. Yay or nay? Also, instead of just saying/voting no, can you give us a reason why?

I think that is a very good idea. Using your controls to puppet another creature means that your "busy concentrating" player is no longer responding to the game's controls and so is susceptible to attack. Interesting gameplay.

All for Necromancy, no point having graveyards in the game if you're not going to lurk, but if you mean mind control as in you now control the subject with the normal game controls then no. Personally I'd hate to spend ages on the face gen ( still creating a character that looks like a muppet with leprosy no doubt ) only to get a spell that allows me to play as someone even uglier for a time.

You aren't thinking out of the box... just imagine what you could do puppeting them, make them jump off cliffs, kill other people, steal from others, attack yourself, use them to attack an enemy. It would probably be an evil spell though... increasing infamy and whatnot.
