Psychology is primarily a control skill, which deals in psychic manipulation, damage, and healing. Psychologists can control enemies rage, fear and mesmerize, taunt or un-taunt, as well as reduce an enemy's damage. Critical-hit chances to attacks against various humanoid creatures can be gained through Phrenology.
