For influencing others, there are three approaches that I know of.
You can influence them by:
-Stopping them from taking action, aka a binding spell. This is the classic method using the "Isa" rune.
-Dominating them to "force" a certain action. I use the sanskrit word "zAsitR" for this, optionally with adding on Aum in the beginning ("Aum zAsitR"). This is what I tend to recommend to people having an oppressive and dominative personality.
-Seducing them to incite certain actions to be taken. By "seducing" I'm not talking in a sexual sense, but rather in the sense of building a layer in your aura that makes people admire and respect you, that makes them want to do favours for you. This has nothing to do with deception, but rather with focusing on bringing out and making blatantly visible your own good points, talents and so on. I have successfully used the (full) Venus planetary mantra for this purpose. I would recommend this to people who already have an inclination towards receiving favors/help from others in their Natal Chart. Which planetary energies to use here also depends on your own chart specifically, though Venus and Jupiter are two solid general options in my opinion.
