Line 6:
The power to [[Hypnotize]] being imbued in a wearable item, by either magic or [[Applied Phlebotinum]]. It doesn't matter the form. It's usually just a piece of [[Jewelry]], but it can be anything from a hat to a [[Pimped-Out Dress|wedding dress]].
Heck, it doesn't always have to be mind control in the typical sense. It can also be a [[Grand Theft Me|conduit]] for a spirit to [[Demonic Possession|possess the wearer]]. This can even cause the victim to look like the spirit did in life. Many of [[Evil Is Not a Toy|these things]] tend to be [[Soul Jar|Soul Jars]] of the [[Sealed Evil in a Can]], and are [[Artifact of Attraction|purposely made desirable]] for this effect.
Note this is direct mind control, not simply [[Artifact of Doom|corrupting people with the object's dark influence]]. Also, this apply to items worn by the victim, not by the hypnotizer.
Line 24:
* In an ''[[Inuyasha|Inu Yasha]]'' filler episode, a Chinese boar yokai collects fiancées this way.
* ''[[Dragon Ball]] Z'': Broly in Movie 8 was given a mind-control crown by his dad (and going by the flashback, it was without his consent), initially to control Broly so as to not have him have outbursts, but shortly thereafter, he ended up used by Paragus to blow up planets -- presumably more than before, given the fact that the amount was high enough to get even King Kai to notice.
* Arguably, the [[Red String of Fate]] that Shampoo uses on Ranma in the ''[[Ranma ½|[[Ranma
* ''[[Digimon Adventure 02]]'' has the Dark Rings (and later, upgraded Dark Spirals.)
* Used in [[Orphen]] Revenge, when {{spoiler|Majik gets [[Brainwashed and Crazy]] by Esperanza due to a [[Nice Hat]] that she puts on him. Orphen "fixes" him via both [[Warrior Therapist|both blasting and talking to him]], then lowring Majik's defense enough to blast the hat away.}}
Line 54:
* Similarly, in ''[[The Avengers (TV series)|The Avengers]]'' episode "Return of the Cybernauts", Beresford gives Mrs. Peel a bracelet, which is actually a mind control device.
* In ''[[The Monkees (band)|The Monkees]]'' episode "Monstrous Monkee Mash," the vampiress Lorelei mind-controls her victims with a magic necklace, which she bestows with a kiss. ({{spoiler|Prompting the repeated exchange: "What a kiss! I've never felt this way before!" "You fool, it is not my kiss, but the magic necklace!" "What a necklace! I've never felt this way before!" The villainess herself got tired of it...}})
* In the original ''[[The Twilight Zone]]'' episode "Dead Man's Shoes", a homeless man finds the body of a gangster's victim, puts on his shoes, and is possessed by the victim. The '80s remake did a gender flip, "Dead Woman's Shoes", in which the trinket is a pair of shoes belonging to the murdered wife of a rich corporate type.
* In ''[[Merlin (TV series)|Merlin]]'', Uther is hypnotized with a magic amulet powered by troll blood.
** Also Gwen and the magic bracelet in "Lancelot Du Lac".
* In ''[[Smallville]]'', Winslow Schott has a diadem that emits a frequency to the brain stem. He got Courtney Whitmore to commit crimes for him and Lois try to kill Clark (who had his powers at the time).
