[QUOTE="Dozen, post: 6022366, member: 6698275"] Hmm, well, since we must assume the formians are willingly under the control of the Hive and the ability is not listed as Mind-affecting, logic states there is no need to establish a connection of such strength. Formians are ultimately replaceable, and there are lots and lots of high level casters out there from whom they should be afraid of enough in case somebody cast a Mind-affecting spell on a single one of them. In short, it would only have an effect on the formian for safety reasons. It's possible he'd remain connected to the Hive unless another formian notices he'd been Charmed or Suggested(is that even a term?), and the community "plugs him out". Had you used Dominate, you wouldn't have enough time to command him not to tell the Hive what you just did to him, so Charm might be the most effective approach, given it doesn't matter if he can sell you out when he simply won't.
