The mage can perform psychic reprogramming.
- Practice: Making
- Action: Extended and contested; target rolls Composure + Gnosis reflexively
- Duration: Lasting (vs. Sleepers) or prolonged( vs. mages and other supernatural targets)
- Aspect: Vulgar
- Cost: 1 Mana
A subject’s Virtue and/or Vice may be changed (each requires a target number equal to the subject’s Composure), and other parts of the subject’s fundamental psychic makeup can be altered or even deleted. Each success can affect a single aspect of the subject’s fundamental psychic makeup, such as turning a friendship into a rivalry, making the target fall out of (or into) love, or making him follow a new career calling.
Although this spell’s effect is lasting against Sleepers, it can be dispelled (using Prime ● Dispel Magic, Prime ●●●● Supernal Dispellation, or Death ●●●●● Quell the Spark) to undo reprogramming and to restore the target to his previous state. Dispelling successes must exceed those achieved in this spell.
Guardians of the Veil Rote: Mindscaping
Guardians use this rote to deal with those individuals whose interference cannot be addressed in any way save but to completely alter who they are. By doing so, Guardians preserve life (either out of necessity or personal ethics) and still protect the Mysteries.
