Reflection Mirror mirror on the wall, how do I stop feeling this way

1
This Artifact allows you to heal the mind after traumatic experiences.
Used by Vel, Created by RNGrant.
On Legendary Artifact Mirror Mirror.
(You must use this Artifact obviously when activating this Effect.)

You speak the activation phrase into the mirror. You see in the mirror a more whole version of yourself. You can talk to your mirror self about your traumas and bad memories, such that the mirror self knows fully the cause of the trauma.

Then, you must convince your mirror self to take the trauma in your place.

You can also act as an intermediary for others to use the mirror from a distance. The target must share the trauma's, their origin, and the details of it. As you get these details, you see the mirror forms an image of a more whole version of the person you are talking to.

You then convince them to take the trauma for their corresponding mirrored self.

This Mirror was made by Vel by accident, and can't be remade. Waking from a nightmare, Vel ran to the bathroom and vomited. They spent the rest of the night staring into the bathroom mirror, talking about what happened. At some point their power triggered, and the Mirror was given it's ability.


Exert your Mind to activate. Select a Living target at any distance, provided you are able to communicate. Over the course of one day, your patient must communicate with you and reveal at least one of their Traumas to you, including the details of those Traumas and the circumstances of how they were acquired. After the full treatment time has elapsed, roll Charisma + Influence at Difficulty 6.

Your target may Resist. If your treatment is successful, you may remove one of the patient's revealed Traumas without incurring any Experience cost.

  • The treatment time may be broken up into multiple sessions if necessary.
  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
  • Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.
