Essential Material: Khepri

Queen of Administration
The signature Noble Phantasm of Khepri (Taylor Hebert). The ultimate expression of her absolute control, representing the part of her legend wherein she bent thousands of great warriors to her will and enthralled them to herself.
Embodying that legend, it is an Anti-Army Noble Phantasm that allows her to take control of the bodies of anyone and everything within her range, including those of other Servants. The only way to resist is to have a high enough resistance to magic or a mental skill that protects or alters the mind sufficiently to prevent Khepri from exercising absolute control.
It is not an effect similar to the Mystic Eyes of Enchantment of a vampire or simple hypnosis. Rather than “coercion” that may be shaken by circulating magical energy through the magic circuits, it is instead “hijacking,” rendering control of the body to Khepri rather than simply bending the mind into the preferred shape.
To boil it down, it turns those in range into her familiars.
As a Noble Phantasm of such class, it naturally requires mental or magical resistance of the highest class in order to be thrown off.
However, the disadvantage of the Noble Phantasm is in the danger of its use. By activating it, A-rank Mental Pollution is also equipped by Khepri, twisting her thoughts and interpreting the actions of others through the lens of conflict and fighting. The longer the Noble Phantasm remains activated, the further her mental state deteriorates into something utterly inhuman. Furthermore, the efficacy of her skill, Familiars (Arthropods), also decreases drastically.
