Usage tips
- Mesmerize works on both guards and wolfhounds, allowing Emily to sneak past completely unseen.
- Enemies not affected by Mesmerize will be unable to see the void spirit, and will simply notice their fellow guards acting suspiciously. As such, their own alert state will increase.
- After Mesmerize has ended, guards and wolfhounds will forget about what happened and go about their normal duties.
- While mesmerized, individuals are utterly oblivious to actions going on around them. This allows Emily to sneak past them or kill them with ease.
- If summoned during combat, enemies will still be distracted by the void spirit, taking up to four combatants out of the fight temporarily.
- With the Void Rapture bone charm, enemies can fall unconscious when Mesmerize ends. While this can have negative consequences in some cases, for example if a fellow guard is not knocked out and sees an unconscious body, in combat this is very useful, permanently removing some combatants from the fight.
- Upgrading Mesmerize to Mesmerize Four is very important for a ghost playthrough, as it can distract all guards found in most places, while the lower upgrades will often leave a few guards unmesmerized and confused by the behaviour of the mesmerized guards.
- When using Mesmerize along with Domino, more targets will be affected by the attraction. In the best case, it can enthrall up to 7 targets.

Trivia
- When looking at the void spirit, watchers see a kind of beautiful horror.[citation needed]
