The power of psychic archvillains, listed in the Phavian Institute's Note on Unethical & Prohibited Measures as the Class I crime of Self-Replicating Meme Propagation. It is similar to Suggestion, except that those whose Ego or Faith has been completely overcome by the psychic's idea (meme) become 'carriers' and can infect others with the idea by speaking to them face to face, just as the psychic infected them (though it effectively costs carriers no Wyrd points). In the long term carriers may become exhausted and behave neurotically from the gradual Wyrd drain of creating more carriers, but there is no limit to how far the Contagion can spread.
