Is it a power made by me?

Did the power trigger because the third party was affected by the hypnotism as well?

Is it a power made by me? Yes, one of them is made by you ^^
Did the power trigger because the third party was affected by the hypnotism as well? Not really. The trigger is not the hypnotism and the women were not necessarily hypnotized.

Okay.  I guess that answers my question. But just in case, let's make for sure...

So, the hypnotism itself doesn't trigger the power, but does the resulting trance state invoke the power?

Or maybe, if the trigger was not the hypnotic state, then were emotions involved?

I think it's either Life-Drain Backlash or Empathic Backlash or Empathic Blast...

So, the hypnotism itself doesn't trigger the power, but does the resulting trance state invoke the power? Nope, the trance didn't trigger the power.
Or maybe, if the trigger was not the hypnotic state, then were emotions involved? Nope.
Did the mentalist invoked the power through the hypnosis? The mentalist inadvertently triggered the power (he wasn't aware the guy had a superpower)
The guy remained on his spot, right? Not necessarily.
He wasn't altered in any way? Nope.
Soul-related? Nope.
Shadow related? (I don't count it as a natural element) Nope.
Kinesis related? Nope.
Movement/kinetic related? Sort of. But no.
Reality bending related? Nope.
Effervescence? (hit them with a bubble) Nope.
Episode Inducing (just randomly targeted the women)? Nope.
False Cognition (unlikely, but just to be safe)? Nope.
Mirage Inducing? (they thought it was real) Nope.
Precognitive Blast? (obvious explanation) Nope.
Psychopompism? (unlikely, but just to be safe)? Nope.
Spheres Of Influence...? (If it's reality bending-related......) Nope.
Temporal Spike? (In and out of time, cut violently) Nope.
The Evil Eye? (hit with the stare, they violently jerked their faces away? Nope.
Yin And Yang Manipulation? (yang hurt them with a blast or beam) Nope.
I think it's either Life-Drain Backlash or Empathic Backlash or Empathic Blast... Nope.

Does it matter what the Hypnotist tried to hypnotize the person to do?

If I asked what he tried to hypnotize the person to do, would it immediately give away the power?

It can push you in the right direction. The key is he made the person do something.

Yes, but the hypnotist/mentalist is trying to make the third party do something, and the something produces a kind of force.

Is the force invisible?

Is it an offensive force, or defensive?

Is it Mimesis?

Yes, it's Mimesis! The other possibility is Master Mime.      

"The mentalist went on to show his talent as a hypnotist. He first began by asking volunteers to come on the stage and tried to hypnotize them as well as the audience in order to select the most suggestible ones. Once the selection phase was completed, the superpowered guy, among other people, ended up on the stage in a trance. There, the mentalist made every one of them do silly things, like imagining themselves as goalkeepers for a soccer game. When he told them a player from the opposing team was coming and then shot, everyone on the stage jumped to either side at the same time in order to catch an imaginary ball. And when he told them they had to shoot the ball as hard as they can, everyone mimed placing the ball on the ground, backing away and suddenly running foward to shoot it. However, miming the action to shoot the ball triggered the guy's superpower, bringing the ball to life which hit a first woman, ricocheted and hit a second one."

So, now that we have only 16 or 15 posts left before lockdown, I guess this is it for this game.
