Joseph's voice has always been complimented for being so enchanting and impactful to his audiences, so why not make it literally enchanting? When he sings and makes eye contact with a target, the lyrics of the song he's chosen will spill out of his mouth in glowing golden letters in the air, and Joseph will be able to draw out and manipulate the target's emotions as he so pleases. Anyone who the target interacts with during this may also fall under the spell, as the effect of his voice is just that hard to ignore. However, as all performers know, it's incredibly taxing to maintain such a strong command over a crowd, so for now, Joseph limits his usage of this ability -- after all, it is wise to keep your best performances for the best opportunities possible.
