 A sufficiently experienced dracoimperist can inflict physical pain on a connected dragon via telepathy, usually as punishment or warning. It can manifest as several different types of pain depending on the user's will, and can range from feeling like a claw's slash across the eyes to taking a blunt weapon to the back of the head. This ability can also be used on any psychic connected or connecting with one of the user's dragons, and can thus serve as defending the dragon in question from psychic attack.
-Related to this, a dragon recently freed from or has stopped resisting a dracoimperist's influence may suffer acute headaches for a few hours to several days afterwards, due to either the shock of being disconnected or the mental strain of fighting.
+Related to this, a dragon recently freed from or having stopped resisting a dracoimperist's influence may suffer acute headaches for a few hours to several days afterwards, due to either the shock of being disconnected or the mental strain of fighting.
 A dracoimperist can use the ability to inflict pain on its dragons to the advantage of "training" a dragon to obey without question. This is more akin to the brainwashing tactics applied by cults than to actually training an animal- through repetition, distraction by pain, and even occasionally preventing the dragon from sleeping or eating, the dragon can be manipulated or confused into believing that it indeed wishes to serve its master. Most morally-inclined dracoimperists avoid this method due to the ethics involved, but crueler or more totalitarian dracoimperists have no issue with it.

 '''Dracoimpery''' ([[Drakine]] ''Vendeía Akor'', [[Common]] ''Comfort of Mind's Strength'') is a [[Soul Phantasm]] that refers to the manipulation or control of, or the dominion over [[dragon]]s.

This can permanently damage the dragon's mind and mental well-being even when freed, resulting in post-traumatic stress and anxiety in the dragon.

 ===Defense Mechanisms===
-An injured dracoimperist or Familiar can send out a subconscious "cry for help" when stressed, injured, or dying. Dragons connected to the user of this defense mechanism will instinctively respond mentally and spiritually, sending a sort of confirmation across the link and, if the user is in dire need, their souls will send their own life energy across the link to keep their master alive. It is this mechanic of the link that also links master and Familiar in their mortality, as the dead individual acts as a "[[Prana]] sink", and will eventually drain the other party's life completely. The more dragons giving their life force, however the less any one of them has to give, and the longer they can sustain the effect without suffering ill effects.

 Dracoimpery also includes a "failsafe" mechanic triggered by orders phrased in certain ways, that can be used to free a dragon from control. For example, a dracoimperist telling their dragon to "obey nobody but itself" will act as a way to sever all dracoimpery- or even other weak psychic- links the dragon has with a master. This  was used by Jason Shaver in the Alter Timeline to free [[Deathstorm]] from [[Lord X-Giga-X]], as Deathstorm was connected to both dracoimperists in question, and Jason wished to free him from Giga.

-With sufficient skill and discipline, an experienced dracoimperist may have the capacity to forge a particularly powerful bond with a dragon known as a '''Familiar link'''. A dragon bound this way is referred to as a '''Familiar''', while the dracoimperist in question retains the title of 'master.' In most cases, the dragon in question must give its consent to being bound as a Familiar. This is not always the case, as shown by [[Jason Shaver]] and [[Mimring Thundercale]], the latter of whom was simply not in a state of mind to offer resistance when Jason tried to influence him.

 While more similar to "classical" Euthoran dracoimpery than most links, there are still crucial differences. However, one thing that remains the same is a powerful bond of friendship and loyalty forming between the two parties, and a tendency for pairs with longstanding bonds to begin to lose the ability to distinguish between their independent thoughts. This is not necessarily a bad thing; it allows for quicker communication on the battlefield and other stressful situations.

 Dracomancy allows one party the ability to see perfectly from their mentally-linked partner's perspective, and thus allows one party to see things from a perspective that they would otherwise be unable to see from their perspective. For example, a dracoimperist would be able to view the vast distances and aerial viewpoint that a dragon is accustomed to seeing. Otherwise, it is primarily utilized for communication, allowing thoughts to be exchanged non-verbally between the master and his/her dragon.
-Through prolonged exposure to a dragon's consciousness, a dracoimperist practising dracomancy will begin to increasingly find their thought processes changing to work as a dragon's mind does.
