Mar. 15th, 2015 01:17 pmhere is a vampire teaching a baby vamp how to glamour, basically explaining how to get it started/how it feels. here is somebody being glamoured, here is it being used to influence speech and emotions. there are other great scenes that explain it but they're really long and i don't think you'll want to sit through them so i can just explain it.
basically it's like i said, like hypnotism. when you get someone you've got them, and as long as you keep concentrating you can keep them in that super suggestive doped up state until you're finished with them. with glamouring you can tell someone how they're feeling, implant false memories, erase entire portions of their past--pretty much anything you want that has to do with the mind. if you glamour someone and tell them they've been depressed since they were 5 years old, they'll feel like they've had years and years of memories to back that up.
however it's also a little empty. eg if you glamour someone into feeling depressed and someone asks why they're depressed, they'll have no idea. there's no rhyme or reason, that's just how they were told so that's how it is.
it works similarly in the other place i pulled vamp lore from in let the right one in, where basically this tiny girl vamp goes around telling people not to be afraid and to invite her in, all while they are incredibly lucid and see no reason not to let a filthy little girl covered in blood into their house.
if you want to sit through a really detailed example this one is 6 minutes, but it deals with a lot of emotions and pasts being rewritten. it's not necessary though because it just reiterates what i've already said.
basically you can think of it like suggestion just incredibly potent and impossible to resist.
