Summary: 


In a number of episodes we see that the master has a certain "power of
persuasion"  --  he looks his victim in the eye and repeats what he wants
the victim to believe, such as "You have seen my security pass.", and in
many cases the victim becomes convinced of this.  Does anyone know where this
power comes from?  It doesn't seem to be inherent to time lords since the
doctor doesn't posses it (as far as I know).
