That sounds like Mind Control w/ Conditioning Only or Suggestion. Possibly with an Accessibility limitation to represent only being able to use it on a person you are possessing.

Alternately just give them lots of Charisma and Diplomacy.

A limitation of Compartmentalized Mind, call it Will Limited, that limits you to Will 10 worth of people per level (ie three levels lets you control three people with Will 10, four people with Will 7, six people with Will , two people with Will 12).

I'd eyeball it around -20% since there's more things that increase a person's effective Will than there are people with especially low Will.
