The Breach
The Breach (Mind Magic)
The Breach refers to the terrifying event when an Illusionist or Mind Mage breaks through a target's active mental defenses and fictional positioning.
When a Breach occurs, the attacker gains access to the target's psyche. The main mechanical and narrative consequences are severe:
- Memory Alteration: The invading mage can change, erase, or implant bits of memory.
- Personality Rewrite: If not stopped soon enough, the attacker can fundamentally alter the victim's personality, effectively turning them into another person entirely.
- Violent Psychic Collapse: A malicious attacker can shatter the victim's sanity through sustained invasive assault, potentially turning them into a Hollow—a broken shell of their former self.
