Limitations

  • Users are only resistant, not immune.
  • Doesn't work against physical abilities or actual attacks.
  • May require mental discipline and focus to prevent external penetration.
  • Mental Shield Penetration may be able to penetrate the shield.
  • Meta Fear Inducement can affect them directly regardless of how powerful their psychic shielding is.
  • Powerful opponents may still be able to affect the user to some extent.
  • Shield may have to be consciously activated.
  • May have weakness against Consciousness Separation and Consciousness Shattering.
  • Still vulnerable to Emotion Manipulation as their minds are only protected, not their emotions or feelings.
    • As such, if one lets their emotions get the better of them, it might leave their minds vulnerable.
