I think that perhaps using magic edges (P.xx SR Companion) along with a
custom designed spell from the grimore might be the way to go here.

This is because i feel it's an incredibly powerful ability. The spell would
have to have a lot of drain and the victim of the hack should be able to
resist it again after every # of successess / willpower of victim days/hours
or something along those lines. but it should be neccessary to get the edge
to use the spell (this way, PC's can't use the ability withuot the GM's
permission, but the GM can add to a campaign with crazed loonies popping out
of the woodwork.)

I feel that it would be an excellent ability for a master antagonist (ex.
G.S.), but would be very reluctant to give it to my players for fear of making
misuse too easy.
