Riku’s new power allows him to issue commands that others must follow. When he speaks with authority, his words carry a supernatural weight that compels the listener to obey, almost as if their will bends to his. The effect is immediate and difficult to resist, making Riku's influence over others nearly absolute, at least for a short time. This ability amplifies his natural charisma, turning his voice into a force that can alter reality itself.
