    In my fantasy world, it is growing apparent that at least some of the people are empathic or have empathic-like abilities.

    This is consistent with the way I have built their species, and fits with their culture.

    However, I have discovered that there are two types:

    1) The commonly understood empath who senses and reacts/responds to the emotions and moods of others.

    2) Some of the characters are able to do the opposite. They can direct or intentionally influence the moods and emotions of those around them. Kind of like the Jedi but emotions only, not in the sense of mind or thought control.

    I need a name or a term for the second. Does one exist? If not, what might you suggest?
