(This includes the +2 augmentation cost for being able to dominate these types).- This essentially makes it a 7th level, more limited version of Dominate Monster.+10 pp to dominate an abberration, dragon, etc. with a duration of 1/day per level. (This includes the +4 augmentation cost for being able to dominate these types).- This makes it functionally identical to the 9th level power Dominate Monster, with the same cost (17pp=9th level) and duration.</blockquote>
