Marionette Magic

Marionette Magic (糸操りの魔法, Itoayatsuri no Mahō; lit. "Marionette Manipulation Magic") is an unique form of holder and sometimes, a caster magic; depending on the style of utilization, that allows the user to control and manipulate the bodies of both the living and the dead by linking them with a certain object.

Overview
Marionette Magic, often referred to as "Voodoo Magic" is a simple and yet intriguing magic in which the caster uses their magic to "link" the victim with an object; this object can be anything, ranging from dolls to keys. When activated, the victim loses control over their body as the user takes control over motor functions of others against their will as if they were a marionette; hence the name, the subjects are still conscious, but can’t resist the user's puppet control.

Due to the nature of this magic, the user may also link objects to the deceased; their decomposing or lifeless bodies and still make them walk, react and even fight, despite them being technically dead. This gave rise to the name "The Walking Dead (僵屍, Kyonshi)".

Marionette magic practitioners like using the sympathetic magic principle: Law of Similarity or "like affects like": model or miniature of a real-world object which affects the real-life counterpart when it is changed. They can also do the converse, by linking a live human being with a building or something non-living and then effecting the building by harming the human linked to it. As such, death of the human would cause the entire building to collapse; making it a dangerous form of magic.
