Memory Drain Spell

E/F/M:

The caster of this Spell is able to draw forth selected memories from the target temporarily erasing them from the subject's mind in the process. No more than one K/S Area per 10 STEEP of the caster can be so awed. This temporary amnesia will last a number of hours equal to the caster's Mental TRAIT score plus Dweomercræft STEEP, unless the Casting's negative heka is somehow negated or dispelled. The process of affecting the subject of this Casting requires that there be a reduction of the subject's Mental Mnemonic points by one-half the MM CATEGORY. Thus, for each point removed, the caster must expend 1 point of Helm. or else the Memory Dish will fail. If the Casting activates, then the MM CATEGORY points lost are restored next CT, but the temporary amnesia persists. There is a potentially dangerous side effect for the caster. If any caster views events or creatures which caused insanity or madness in the subject must make appropriate rolls against that effect or be similarly afflicted.
