The Breach (Mind Magic)

The Breach refers to the terrifying event when an Illusionist or Mind Mage successfully overcomes a target's passive Mind Defense.

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.
• Mind-Rape / Hollowing: A malicious attacker can violently assault the mind, instantly shattering the victim's Sanity and turning them into a Hollow—a completely broken, crazy shell of their former self.
