Not necessarily. It depends on the build and the character's stats. There were several times where my character would’ve been killed or overwhelmed by enemies that using the tadpole did result in a positive outcome without killing a mind-controlled creature or being killed.

I think dominating an enemy and turning them away from attacking, is better than killing them, personally.

The game allows people to use charms, read thoughts, and otherwise incapacitate people with spells that deprive them of the ability to move, influence them and cause physical and mental torture, madness, and other spells which are invasive to the mind and cause fear and panic. I don’t see the difference between using tadpole powers, or magic with similar results, except that we are more accustomed to spells being more acceptable, but they have the potential to be invasive too.

I agree, however, that the tadpole should not be used lightly or for personal gain.
