Legacy Power: Wash Brain

Don't you wish you could forget the pain?

A 1 Gift Memory Manipulation Power used by Egas Freeman, created by ShadyTradesman.

Description

Dr. Freeman can alter the memories of a person as long as he is touching their brain.

System

Exert your Mind, choose an Animate target within Arm's Reach, and spend 15 Minutes activating this Power. Roll Intellect + Medicine Difficulty 6, which the target can resist by rolling Mind, Difficulty 6. Successes determine the amount of detail and completeness of the memory alteration. Only a One Week period may be altered at once.

This power does not give you the ability to read the target’s mind, so the detail with which you can alter the target’s memory is limited to your knowledge of what they know. The period you are affecting is chosen either by time ("last friday night") or an event ("when the murder occurred").


Enhancements

  • Slice Mind (Instead of altering a period of memory, you may have the target forget any specific knowledge, regardless of period. For example: a loved one, a place they've been, a beloved object they've owned, etc.)
  • Snip Away (Instead of altering a period of memory, you may have the target forget one specific detail, regardless of period. For example, a password, a phone number, directions to a house, etc.)
  • Amnesia (You may have the target forget some or all of the affected without swapping in a replacement memory.)

Drawbacks

  • Terrible Invasion (When this Effect is used, the target realizes that their memory is being altered and by who, but they do not know in what way.)
  • Conditional (This Effect is only available when a certain condition is met. This condition must be severe enough that this Gift is unusable the majority of the time.)
    • Condition - Must be touching the target's brain
  • Recall (You can only affect the most recent period of the target’s memory.)
  • Echo (You must feature yourself as you appear today in some way in the affected period.)

Parameters

Period: 3 ( One Week ) Range: 0 ( Arm's Reach ) Cast Time: 0 ( 15 Minutes )
