When they joined the Time Lord Academy at the age of eight, they were taken to look into the <i>Untempered Schism</i>.

Both the Doctor and the Master have been shown to be skilled hypnotists, although the Master's capacity to dominate – even by stare and voice alone – has been shown to be far more pronounced.
