I've been experimenting with the rune Ehwaz for mind control. When I attempt to do so in an ethical way through the use of Ehwaz, I have been noticing resistance from the person. My impression is that emotions are the strongest resistance. The problem is I'm not able to enforce emotions for long periods of time, and I'm only able to do so by consciousness merging and injecting those emotions. At the moment I'm struggling to overcome their nervousness for long periods. When I do inject intended emotions, usually it's conflicting with their desires and resisted heavily.
The enemy must have influence over them already since they have been interfering with my workings.
Does anyone have ideas on this issue? My water element isnt great, maybe working on it would improve my ability to overpower their emotions?
Regarding if this method is ethical, I don't see a difference between it and a charismatic person influencing someone into a positive situation that they wouldn't decide on their own. I could drain, attack and force them to do what I want probably easily, but that's not even an option in this case.
