Domain: Mercy
Existing Overlapping Domains: The two that stand out to me as potentially overlapping would be Forgiveness and Charity.
Definition: Compassion or forgiveness shown toward someone whom it is within one's power to punish or harm.
Relevance: Mercy is something that can be shown, or granted for a variety of reasons, but it always requires that the one granting it be in some position of superiority over the recipient - it's granting the freedom of a slave just because one can see that the status itself is causing mental (or physical) anguish, or ending the life of a terminally ill & suffering being, letting a beaten opponent live (but possibly taking some form of other compensation than their life), or even letting prey go free because one can see a litter of their offspring hiding in the long grass. It's independent of one's feelings for the recipient, with the only major criteria being that the act spares the recipient from a perceived worse fate, at the hands of the one granting it. An act of mercy can be something minor that just makes a day go more smoothly, or could change a life dramatically (or end it, as the case may be).
