The Puppeteer is the middle of the path and its first step, which one does not ascend without an advancement ritual. Here the Jester's path finally ceases to be about personal mastery and becomes about power over the actions of others.
The core of the stage is control over the threads of the spiritual body. The Puppeteer discerns these threads and controls them at a distance of up to a hundred meters. Through a living being's threads he acts directly on its soul body, astral projection, body of the heart and mind, and etheric body — and the etheric body in turn serves as the bridge through which the victim's physical body itself is subjugated.
The other powers gain half or more: the same Air Bullet now strikes like a shot from a steam rifle.
The method of action of this stage is described in the canon in more detail than most, and it is entirely about theater:
stay behind the scenes and make the puppet work, not yourself;
remember that every puppet has its own role and its own character;
stage "plays" like a director and get a response from the audience;
lead the enemy through the puppet, forcing him himself to play the role of a doll.
The advancement ritual is a match: the potion is taken to the singing of mermaids.
