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

Lizzie put one on Numbuh One, who was forced to take her on a fancy date, until eventually the [[Berserk Button|insane prices]] made him angry enough to break free.
