[The Suicide Squad] How does this character's power work? (Spoilers)

Not sure what all counts as a spoiler so I'll just spoiler everything to be safe.

>!How do Ratcatcher 2's powers work? Obviously she uses the light to summon the rats, but how does she command them? At one point she has rats gnaw the wires to the security cameras at Jotunheim. How did she direct that? Does she use the light somehow or does she have some kind of psychic bond with the rats?!<
gpt
the light is a byproduct (read: visual cue) of something else going on. She's using the rod to mentally command the rats, and light is just what we see. The rats aren't getting commands from the light. we just can't see the actual mind-controlling effect.
