Or, I quite agree that Imperio implies the desire to dominate. 
However, Obliviate implies the RIGHT to dominate. Personally, I find 
it infinitely more disturbing. Who's awarded wizards with the divine 
right to decide what another person is allowed to remember? And what 
is it if not domination it it's most dangerous and self-righteous 
form?
