Range 30ft / 10m

Key Words Greater / Spiritual
Description This spell causes the target to become convinced that they have witnessed or experienced an event that did not occur, or which occurred in a manner different from the false memory.
  • The caster must clearly describe the imagined event in 20 words or less, as part of the spell vocals.
  • The purported event cannot have lasted longer than 5 minutes (e.g. a brief conversation or witnessing a murder).
  • The imagined event must have occurred not more than 24 hours prior to the spell being cast.

The subject will remember the false version of events until the next sunrise (i.e. the true memory will return as of Time In the following day), and during this period no amount of urging or argument will convince them otherwise.

This spell may be resisted by the skill Iron Will.
