Mind Compulsion

I became a bit confused by how the sirens' mind control worked after ''We Have History Together'' and throughout the remainder of their appearance. Despite it appearing beforehand that Sybil and Seline had no trouble "sirening" vampires as old as Damon, Stefan, and Enzo, why was it that Sybil seemed so unassertive with Caroline in the episode when prior she seemed so fearless and confident. I was confused why she had to resort to manipulation and trickery to get Caroline to do what she wanted, as opposed to just mind controlling her. A few episodes later Bonnie expressed worry Sybil would mess with her and Caroline's minds should they release her from her confinement, implying she should have had no issues mind controlling them. Was it that Sybil, unlike Seline (or so it seemed), needed to come into physical contact with those she wanted to control? Did she have some sort of personal preference towards controlling men? Or, did no longer serving Cade directly weaken her mental powers? I don't know if there was something I missed or not when watching the season.

I strongly believe that witch-vampire hybrids would have the ability to compel other vampires due to the fact that we see Marcel compel Elijah with the aid of Vincent casting a spell to open his mind. Lizzie was able to completely knock out the god Ben with just siphoning in a matter of seconds, so I feel like witch-vampire hybrids can just siphon other vampires along or even adding a mind weakening spell and they should be able to easily compel them.

I have one more theory on the gods coming in, I thought there is technically a major tvdverse question but we never exactly found out where dark magic/expression comes from, we cant exactly say it comes from cade cause he honestly feeds off the souls of sinners but not innocents. And to me anything involved with dark magic involves a sacrifice usually of someone or a loved one and that comes off as a tribute to some dark force in exchange for power so I think the entity that gives off power could be the threat that ben talks about, im just speculating, I have no hard proof but I feel this would be the biggest antagonist tvdverse has never used at this point. I suppose this could have origins to the original coven of witches I cant put that out either.

And I do think these could be the gods we meet-

God of strength-can lift, push, throw, bend or punch through anything

God of speed-is the fastest thing to ever exist you cannot keep up with their speed

God of senses-Can see, smell or hear anything in the world or universe

God of Invincibility-This one I guess ben will fall under in that he can regenerate from any wound and never die

God of memory-Can remember and know anything and everything

God of weather-Can manipulate all the elements on earth/prison worlds in whatever size and form the user wishes

God of control-Can control any being-vampires, werewolves, witches, originals, etc

I hope they dont introduce a god of time cause I have problems with time travel but I suppose that could happen too

Is Mind Compulsion some kind of hypnosis (because when it's used on someone it looks like the victim is hypnotized)?

So this is my first time watching tvd and I’m at the part where Alaric erases Elenas memories of Damon and then becomes human so she can’t get them back and Elena is a vampire so she can’t be compelled by anyone but an original vampire if Alaric isn’t the only original why haven’t they considered getting in contact with one the others to compel Elena to remember even though Alaric compelled her would it make a difference to have someone else restore her memories

So if I remember correctly when Elijah compelled Kathrine to stay in the tomb with the rest of the desiccating vampires, she told Damon NOT to kill him or else she would be trapped in there forever and when Damon daggered him the compulsion broke

SO, Alaric was turned into a vampire by ester with the original vampire spell

NOW, when Alaric compelled Elena to forget she loved Damon, shouldn't she have remembered loving Damon after Alaric turned back into a human when jo saved him after he crossed the border ?

How come when stefan became human everyone he has ever compelled started remembering but when Alaric became human Elena didnt remember Damon?.

Can an animal be compelled

It has been established in The Vampire Diaries that only Originals can compel vampires. I was thinking the writers forgot about this as the Originals have been repeatedly torturing information out of sypernatural creatures and humans alike. But, then there is the season 1 episode 3 of The Originals where Klaus using compulsion and at the same time else where, Rebekah was torturing information out of a witch. So, I'm guessing the Original family just loves to see people suffer to get what the want?

Do the original vampires have power(as in compulsion abilities) over other vampires because the others were descended,in a way,from them,and they were the first vampires,or do they have power because they were created by a witch and weren’t turned with the blood of another vampire. Because the first would suggest that each original could only compel his/her own bloodline while the second suggests that if any vampire was created by a witch they could compel others,which would suggest that more could be created.

Please keep in mind that I haven’t watched the Originals yet(though spoilers are welcome if they answer the question),so I wouldn’t know if there’s an answer on that show.

Ok when Stefan took the cure everyone he ever compelled came after him but why didn’t that happen to Katherine when she took it?? i need answers

It has been stated that if an immortal supernatural being takes the cure, they will revert back to being a mortal being again and will cause their bodies to reject vampire blood if introduced into their systems. However, if that someone who’s taken the cure, gets compelled to not reject vampire blood by any means, will the complusion be successful and the body doesn’t reject the vampire blood?

As we know when Hope dies she will become a Full Tribrid. But what does that really mean? Will she be able to compel other vampires? Will the white oak stakes be the only thing that can kill her? My friend thinks that Josie knew Hope would die by dropping her on the spike when she went dark. But didn’t she know she would just come back to life? My friend thinks Hope would be like a regular vampire but I think she will be like an Original. What do you think?

Hey all, so I recently rewatched TVD S1 and in the episode where Vicki dies, Damon (or Stefan, don't remember which one) compelled Tyler, an untriggered werewolf then, to forget about Vicki attacking him, and it was successful. Tyler was able to be compelled. So can untriggered werewolves be compelled, or was it just a plothole by writers not wanting to give away that Tyler had the werewolf gene?

So we've seen Damon compel a crow in the first season, are there any other animals who've been compelled throughout the series?

Also what's the strength of compulsions? Because in first season Damon's compulsion on caroline was very strong, strong enough that he could ask her to rescue him and she could find him. But we don't see any such strong compulsions later on....

is any unexplored witch invulnerable to be compelled? a user is trying to state that this is possible on the show, has it already been declared that this is impossible right?

So, with my obsession over The Vampire Diaries, I have rewatched the show about 7 or 8 times now. As I am just watching an episode in season 5, right as Alaric compels Elena to forget she ever loved Damon, I remember that when Alaric eventually crosses over the Mystic Falls border, and his vampirism is stripped away he then dies, but Jo being amazing as always brings Alaric back and he is now human. All throughout the show when a vampire dies, everyone they have ever compelled will get their memories back and remember as we see throughout the seasons and eventually when Stefan becomes human everyone he compelled remembers everything that happened and when Elijah was killed with the dagger, Kathrine was then able to leave the tomb. So with this being a rule to magic brings me to my very large question...why didnt Elena get her memories of Damon back when Alaric died?
