Autonomy appears to have the ability to take control of living bodies, even as far as on [[Scadrial]]. It is unclear what her limitations are, or if there is any requirement the person must fulfill before Autonomy can use them; it is likely that it requires [[Connection]] to Autonomy, and possibly the presence of trellium. When people are under Autonomy's control, she can make them move to their wish and speak what she wants; they can be recognized as hers by red glow in their eyes.{{book ref|mb7|55}} The [[Set]] calls them their "Faceless Immortals"; they do not appear aware of the Immortals' true nature.{{book ref|mb6|epilogue}} It's unclear if Autonomy can return the body under the control of its original owner, or if the person is still aware of themselves while Autonomy is in control.
=== Perpendicularity Control ===

Bavadin seems to have mastered control over [[perpendicularity|perpendicularities]]. She has barred access to [[Taldain]] through the [[Cognitive Realm]], locking any native worldhoppers out of their own homeland.{{au ref|Taldain}} On other worlds, she has shown the ability to create artificial, temporary perpendicularities; the methods by which she does so are unknown to cosmere scholars and appear to break the known laws of [[Realmatic Theory]].{{book ref|mb7|50}}
However, unlike natural perpendicularities, the portals created by Autonomy have strict constraints, requiring specific time and place to form. What affects those conditions is unclear, though it appears that large quantities of Invested individuals and liquid Investiture are key aspects. Whatever the case may be, those constraints means that for Bavadin to use the portals effectively, she requires a great deal of coordination and timing.{{book ref|mb7|59}} Additionally, once made, those perpedicularities can be destroyed by spending the Investiture they are comprised of; a small group of [[Allomancer]]s can destroy a portal over the course of several minutes.{{book ref|mb7|64}}
