Duchess Lumholtz and Tobias Brogan

Tobias Brogan about to cut off the duchess's left nipple for the possession magic spell.

An unnamed magic spell used by Lunetta Brogan at the behest of her brother. The spell turned its victim into Lunetta's obedient slave. To cast the spell, the victim's left nipple had to be sliced off. Once the spell was complete, Lunetta would heal the injured breast, leaving it without a nipple. She would then transfer the nipple to Tobias, thus granting him control over the victim. Unlike the Confessor's touch, the victim would retain her mind and memories.

The spell was first seen being used against Duchess Lumholtz, although Tobias's collection of nipples suggest that they have been using this spell previously. Lunetta also cast this spell on Berdine, to aid the Duchess in their plot to kill Richard. Tobias also intend to have Lunetta cas this spell on Kahlan, but was prevented from doing so by a mirswith.

Tobias used this spell to order Duchess Lumholtz to seduce Richard so that she can get close to him and kill him. He also ordered Berdine to assassinate Richard, if the duchess failed in her mission. Had the duchess succeed, it is unknown what would have been Berdine's orders.

Tobias also offered to use his power over the duchess to order her to have sex with Galtero. However, he never ended up using the possession magic this way as Galtero refused. Galtero wanted to take the duchess by force instead as he wanted her to struggle and scream. Tobias frees the duchess to react honestly, telling her he does not bid her to sleep with Galtero.

Tobias knew he could hand over the duchess to rape because she would still have to obey his orders and she would not complain to anybody about the rape.
