The power to inflict mental trauma on a target.
Used by Alicia Pleasence Liddell, Created by Tomatitoito.
(When activating this Effect, it is obvious you are interacting with the target. )

Imagine the affected individual suddenly finding themselves in a distorted version of reality where familiar surroundings twist into nightmarish shapes. Alice appears as an ethereal figure, her eyes glowing with an otherworldly intensity. She moves with an unsettling grace, her voice echoing like whispers in a windstorm.

Within the mind, memories and fears manifest in grotesque forms: childhood toys turn into monstrous creatures, familiar faces morph into sinister masks, and mundane objects distort into symbols of dread. The atmosphere becomes suffused with a sense of impending doom, as if the very fabric of reality is unraveling.

As Alice delves deeper into the psyche, she projects haunting visions and manipulates emotions, causing profound psychological distress. The victim feels powerless against this invasive force, their thoughts and fears laid bare before Alice's penetrating gaze.

Throughout the experience, Alice remains an enigmatic presence, her motives unclear but her impact undeniable. Those witnessing the scene are left with a lingering sense of unease, as if they too are peering into the abyss of their own subconscious fears.

In the tapestry of Alice's extraordinary abilities, her power to invade minds and evoke profound trauma weaves a thread of dark enchantment. Rooted in the whimsical yet unsettling realm of "Alice in Wonderland," this Gift transcends mere fantasy, delving deep into the metaphysical underpinnings of consciousness and fear.

At its core lies a duality akin to the looking glass itself—a reflection of both wonder and terror. Alice, a paradoxical figure of innocence and manipulation, harnesses this power with a grace that belies its chilling implications. Her ability to traverse the boundaries of sanity and perception speaks to an intimate understanding of the human psyche's fragile architecture.

Metaphysically, this Gift taps into the uncharted territories of psychic intrusion, where reality bends at the whim of a singular will. It hints at a realm where dreams and nightmares converge, where memories bleed into manifestations of dread. Alice, as the wielder, becomes a conduit between the tangible and the intangible, navigating through mental landscapes fraught with symbolism and subconscious echoes.

The origins of such a power are shrouded in mystery, perhaps stemming from the peculiar alchemy of Wonderland itself—a place where logic twists into riddles and reality fades into whimsy. It mirrors the transformative journey of Alice, from a curious child exploring a fantastical realm to a spectral presence capable of haunting minds.

In essence, this Gift embodies the timeless allure of darkness within enchantment, where innocence and malevolence dance in an eternal waltz. It invites contemplation on the depths of human fear and the fragility of perception, urging us to confront the shadows that lurk beneath our conscious selves. Alice's power is not just a narrative device but a philosophical exploration—a haunting reminder that even in wonderlands, there are depths where fears take shape and nightmares come alive.
