while generally its a bit of an underpowered feature, the trick is to be in the same party as a monk, and as soon as they get of an sucessful stunning strike on any target that is sufficiently scary you use create thrall on them. Now for the rest of the combat that target is not allowed to attack you but you are allowed to attack them as much as you want without ending the charmed condition. It is a bit limited in only working on humanoids, and shure it is possible for another ally of the victim to have an calm emotions or remove curse available, but i think it is just such a nifty thing to do if you wanna bully someone like "i can attack you and you cannot attack back haha lol anyways time to sacrifice some orphans to gain more eldrich powers while you lie beaten on the ground mentally recovering from magic beyond the stars lmao gotem"

I find Create Thrall one of the most powerful abilities - especially when your DM puts a focus on Social events.
Also, you can do the same with Hypnotic Gaze 🙂
