Perdo Mentem spells destroy thoughts, memories, emotions and minds. As such, they’re usually rather hostile to people. Perdo magic has a hard time improving things. These spells are the product of a wizard who has a lot of feelings to deal with; developed magic to help cope.
Quelling the Fluttering Heart
Level 15 Perdo Mentem
Range: Personal Duration: Momentary Target: Individual
Without any incantation, the caster brings her hand up to her chest just above her heart and balls it into a fist. All love she feels for a single person is extinguished until she sees them again, or until something reminds her of those old feelings.
(Base 5, +2 no words)
A Reprieve From Fell Memories
Level 35 Perdo Mentem
Range: Touch Duration: Moon Target: Individual
The caster circles a target and chants to the moon to lift up pain and chants to the world below to bring the mists of oblivion. The target then loses all memories of a single person in their life, until the moon waxes and wanes fully again.
(Base 15, +1 Touch, +3 Moon)
Chamber of Oblivion
Level 25 Perdo Mentem
Range: Touch Duration: Sun Target: Room
The caster sets a terrible mark on each door to the chamber; until the sun next rises or sets, the emotions of all within will become distant and quiet.
The caster looks into the target’s eyes while chanting softly; they lose the ability to persist through exhaustion and sleepiness. Unless kept from sleeping by stimulants or being physically shaken, they will fall asleep within minutes; nothing can rouse them for more than a few minutes from sleep.
