Emotional Magicians - What kind are you?

If you had the magical ability to summon ONE emotion in other people, which would it be?

It's kinda funky because that by itself sounds like a super-power, doesn't it? But that's actually just a normal thing we can do. Depending how intentional and dedicated you are to the craft.

I'm diving deeper and deeper into emotions as a magic system. Seeing our life in a more whimsical and skill-nurturing sort of system, I've blasted open my own mind a few times in the last month.

My answer is firstly 'Gratitude' of course. Then courage and curiosity would follow....I'm dedicating my life to summoning that in other's already. But there are many ways for me to approach that:

Storytelling
Guiding questions
Expressing it
Challenges
Making it the source of why/how i act in the world and see what results that produces for my life
Guilting and Shaming
Appropriating fear
Can you think of any others?

Some methods are more ethical, fun, or artistic than others. But they all work, don't they?

How do you summon the primary emotion you wish to provoke in others in your life?

Bonus points if you can share what sort of wizard/character may embody your emotion.
