Do you think this ability could be used positively at all? For example, if you made a doll of someone who had a broken leg, and then wrapped the leg up as if it was bandaged, could that help the broken bone heal more easily? Or if it purely negative/injury inflicting?

Re: Possible Uses Of Voodoo
good question. i've never really thought about it, but maybe it could be used for healing properties. maybe if regen blood was put onto the vodoo doll it could be used to heal.
or possibly help to fight, by controlling a person's movements?

Re: Possible Uses Of Voodoo
Fighting like how it's used in Stardust? That'd be cool. Good idea Maybe then it could also tap into the person's fighting skills and maybe even their abilities?
I don't think you'd need to use regen blood to enable the doll to heal, if it would be at all possible. It's not like you need anything extra to inflict injuries - I was just thinking reversing that and doing the opposite.

Re: Possible Uses Of Voodoo
As I remember, the witch uses it to animate Septimus' corpse and force him to fight for her in the finale bit

Re: Possible Uses Of Voodoo
Think it could also be used to tap into people's powers? Or would that be overkill?

Re: Possible Uses Of Voodoo
Doyle could definitely tap into abilities, including in some scenarios which didn't really make sense because there was an emotional aspect as well as the physical motion which he could block or force someone to make. He made Emma play the cello and draw a crowd to the Carnival, remember?

Re: Possible Uses Of Voodoo
Actually, I think it'd be more realistic to have voodoo also tapping into emotion/mental controlled abilities than puppetry But maybe make it a rarer/harder use of the ability, to limit it.
We actually had a thread here, ages ago, arguing over how Doyle shouldn't have been able to control Emma that way.

Re: Possible Uses Of Voodoo
yeah, i find it weird that he was able to. But Heroes did over stretch the limits of people's powers. Matt's telepathy/precognition for example

Re: Possible Uses Of Voodoo
Matt's was brilliantly ridiculous It was so obvious that they wanted to retain precognitive paintings for story foreshadowing purposes, but either couldn't be arsed to introduce another new character or thought another new character wouldn't be as popular.
