After reading twice I am still unclear on what you mean by ‘mana’ but I want to keep an open mind.
You write:
I once tried to apply mana to get a rental car company to hold to a thing they said earlier over the phone which my plans were counting on. And accidentally got the low-level employee I was applying mana to to offer me a 6-hour car ride in her own car.
Could you explain in detail exactly what is happening in your mind (to the best of your introspective abilities) when you ‘apply mana’. Is this ‘application’ mediated by language? If yes is the language in your head or verbalised to the other person? Is it just attention? intention? etc.
I just added a link to the OP, apparently the original wasn’t working even though it was a public post. Have not reviewed the utility of giving a how-to-mind-control guide here. But light on technique, heavy on direct consequences of having much higher mana than someone and not giving up.
