Powers and Abilities
Because Jasper was charismatic as a human, he can sense and change the emotions of others as a vampire, though he msut be careful not to constantly manipulate those around him so as not to create a false reality of others simply feeling what he wants them to feel. His gift is one of few that can affect Bella without getting blocked by her mental shield, because his power can actually influence peoples' feelings rather than create an illusion.

He mainly uses it to calm people down who have been angered to end a situation peacefully. During his years with Maria and her coven, his power allowed him to control the newborn vampire soldiers better which is what made him Maria's favorite. He could constantly sense the pain of those he killed either for position or sustenance. This experience made him emotionally damanged, as he found killing the only way for survival until he met Alice and started the process of satisfying his thirst with animal blood.

Although his power is useful, the mood he inflicts only lasts for as long as his targets are within his range.
