What needs might a gift of mind control indicate?

- mind control alters the brain against nature.  Maybe the gift-giver has
cognitive damage or insufficiency influencing their community, that surgery
is needed to heal.  Maybe they would appreciate gifts related to the
difficulty of living with cognitive damage or insufficiency.

- mind control provides direct influence when communication doesn't work.
Maybe the gift-giver has struggles influencing people present in their
community.  Maybe they would appreciate gifts related to difficulties
communicating, or difficulties establishing patterns in the world that one
chooses.

- mind control is an exotic technology.  Maybe the gift-giver has more
ability to research technology than other ways of engaging the world.
Maybe they would appreciate gifts that aid the research of technology, or
provide increased capacity for handling other ways of engaging the world.

- mind control demonstrates a norm of producing results without worrying
about how they are met.  Maybe the gift-giver is in a position of power, or
maybe they have very tight deadlines.  Maybe the gift-giver has had to meet
very tight deadlines themselves.

It gets harder to think with each item.
