'''Effect:''' Your character’s mental restraint is now so formidable
that she can foil attempts to read her mind by
splitting her consciousness in two and directing the telepathic
force into a closed loop of thought. Your character
enjoys bonuses when opposing or resisting supernatural
mental influences (such as [[Dominate]]) as though she
had spent a Willpower point to add three dice to her
dice pool or raise her resistance trait by two.

The nature of the thought-loop varies from Dragon to
Dragon. Some have elaborate, circular interior monologues,
often rehearsed to be misleading or confusing. Others repeat
memorized statistics, recite ancient Javanese vocabulary
or make use of disturbingly elaborate dismemberment
visualizations. On the other hand, repeating a mantra
(something simple like “Fuck you, you can’t read my mind”)
ad infinitum can also work, and may even provoke a reaction
in the would-be mind reader.

'''Drawback:''' This mental advantage can be brought into
play with a reflexive action and “kept on” indefinitely.
As long as your character is benefiting from this Merit’s
bonus, however, she suffers a –2 penalty on all dice pools
using her Intelligence.

This merit requires both [[Mind of the Devouring Worm]] and [[Mind of the Unblinking Serpent]] before purchase.
