Oh, uh. Okay thenAlright, although as mentioned people will still have the will to resist, and considering Archmages are powerful as they are they are usually high-willed compared to other unicorns.

I'm not terribly concerned about people being able to resist the implanted compulsions, or even having countermeasures to stop the hack itself from working (although it would be nice if people were willing to play along, because there's not much point in having the ability if everyone I encounter is somehow immune). I just want people to be clear on what they should be defending against (if they're so inclined); think of the whole thing like a barcode scanner. The sirens wings generate patterns that the "scanner" (that being, your eyes and visual processing cortex) reads and then executes the relevant "command", in this case that command being to make the affected individual consider the siren to be their best friend.

If you can disrupt some step of that process, you're safe. Visibility is a concern (can't see the patterns, can't be hacked), and if people used cybernetics or augmented reality they could "screen out" the patterns in real-time and basically put a big censor bar over them from their perspective.

Long-term exposure to the compulsion effect gradually eats away at your ability to resist it and makes you more pliable, though; the non-siren kjurii thralls are more or less incapable of resisting because they've been exposed to the effects for their whole lives.
