Trigger Action (Finisher) or Basic Action

When used as a finishing action, this binds a defeated creature to your will. The target takes no Wounds from the triggering attack and restored to 1 hit remaining. You learn its True Name.

If you already know the creature's True Name, you can use this power as a basic action. This takes an opposed Impress roll to pull off. If the creature is bound when you do this, it cannot actively resist.

A bound creature will obey you, but you have to exert yourself to control it, especially strenuous actions like combat. At the end of each round, if you have not used a binding power on the creature that round, it gets loose. The GM might demand rolls to keep the creature under control out of combat if a lot of time passes, you are distracted, or the creature is strongly motivated to escape. Most bound creatures will turn on you when they break free.

A number of identical unnamed creatures equal to your Mind can be bound as if they were a single named creature.
