Description

Mind Flay

Origin: Lyran History, Dreamer Wars Era

Focus: Dreamsoul (Orbit 60)

Cost: Unknown

Duration: Immediate

Damage: 1 or more permanent measures of a random focal element

Effect: This art, when evoked on a soulsphere, allegedly caused the target to permanently lose 1 or more points from a random focal element pool (Will, Insight, Resilience, Lucidity). Several references were made to targets being befuddled, even forgetting what sphere they were and what arts they knew (Though not losing the art or sphere, just being confused and forgetting that they actually knew it or mis-remembering what levels they had those abilities at), with repeated applications of this art.

History

Little is known of this forgotten art, except that its use and existence predates the Dreamstrike offensive and it was used extensively (According to fragmented writings) in conflicts between the Gathering of the Entranced and the Keepers of the Eternal Shadow. Many of the holders of this art were known to be victims of the first blows of the Dreamstrike Offensive, and it is believed to have been lost early in the that event as many of its holders were ranked members of the various houses, and thus primary targets during the Dreamstrike Offensive.
