I didn't say there was no counter. I said Archon hasn't implemented any counters. Right now this a gaping hole in security. I also wonder what the counters might look like.

Also, Dabbler is casting "calm emotions"-equivalent right now, and again, on everyone in the building. Can that be amplified? Seems plausible. So instead of a lust aura that sets the whole building to boinking, a "calm emotions" aura that results in people not really caring very much that Godzilla was just teleported into the main conference room. Yes, I know, big G wouldn't fit, that's kinda the point.

Archon needs to raise their defenses against mind control magic. And so does every other seat of power on the planet. Parliaments and Congresses and CEOs and Prime Ministers and Presidents and police officers and you name it - you, too, can have your behavior influenced. "I didn't rob that store, the cashier wanted to give me all the money in the till!"

Once mind control enters the story we need to know how a person protects themselves. Any person, not just heroes.
I doubt very much this version of calm mind would stop them from fighting off a room sized godzilla suddenly appearing. At most it would keep people from panicking and handle the scenario rationally. Arianna making tracks for the nearest safe room without screaming, that sort of thing. And please, for the love of all thats holy, keep in mind that its been like 8 HOURS since parfait lost control. I know for us we have had weeks to talk about this mess and how it needs to be fixed, but come on and let them have 5 minutes to think before you start demanding dave show you a 50 panel spread of every world leader now wearing a tiara of mind control blocking or whatever. We know its possible to block against it, assume they are competent and working on establishing said blocks now that a problem has been demonstrated.
