Staff +3 Manna Stored
Mindrape
Concentration, Resist (Willpower)
This diabolical spell plunders the victim’s mind of its memories, leaving them catatonic wreaks. The caster can affect targets of up to 3 INT per intensity. If the target fails to resist, the sorcerer plunges into their mind and begins ransacking its knowledge. Each minute the target suffers a point of damageto their INT. At zero the transfer is complete, leaving the victim mindless. Interrupting the process before it has completed causes the spell to fail but any accumulated damage to INT is permanent.
If the memory was successfully ripped free, the caster may then access these memories until the spell expires. In game terms the caster can recall any fact the victim knew if they spend one round in concentration searching the plundered knowledge. In addition, the caster is able to substitute any ransacked skill that the victim knew at a higher level for their own before making a skill roll. When the spell ends, the memories dissipate into the aether, forever lost. Using stolen memories in this way can be extremely dangerous. A fumbled check of a plundered skill causes the caster to suffer a permanent blurring of their personality with that of their victim. This can often drive the sorcerer to insanity.
Torment
Concentration, Resist (Willpower)
The caster can inflict dreadful amounts of pain on a victim of up to 3 SIZ per intensity. If the target fails to resist the spell, no actual damage is caused but the agony cripples the victim. When the target attempts any Skill Test, the dice roll must also be equal to or less than their Willpower; else they fail due to the torment. |
