The Gnomish Mind Control Cap can allow an engineer to 
[Mind Control] an enemy. When triggered, it turns target humanoid or player into a combat pet. This pet will fight on your behalf for 20 seconds, or until dispelled. As a combat pet, you get the standard pet control bars with which to control it.
There are a few limitations on this item. If, as a hunter or warlock, you already have a pet summoned, you will get the message "you already have a creature summoned." It also cannot be used if the target is in combat, thus requiring that it be triggered before combat.
Source
This item is crafted with Engineering (235) specialized in Gnomish Engineering; taught by trainers.

Notes
- The effect is not same as Priests [Mind Control], which gives you complete power over the foe's actions.
- Engineers can also tinker
[Mind Amplification Dish] to their belt.
Possible malfunctions
- Fails with no effect, but cooldown is trigged.
- User becomes mind controlled by target. However, if the Gnomish Mind Control Cap is used while in a shapeshift form (such as cat form), this effect does not trigger.
