- "In the past, it was often the Dark Lord's pleasure to invade the minds of his victims, creating visions designed to torture them into madness. Only after extracting the last exquisite ounce of agony, only when he had them literally begging for death would he finally kill them."

Also Called[]
- Psionic/Psychic Torture/Torment
Capabilities[]
The user possesses the ability to torment a target mentally, spiritually, and psychologically. By manipulating the target’s inner psyche, they can induce intense mental anguish, emotional distress, and spiritual disarray. This torment can take many forms, such as planting disturbing thoughts, creating vivid illusions, or destabilizing the target’s sense of self and reality.
Mentally, the user can invade the target’s mind, causing confusion, fear, and paranoia, eroding their ability to think clearly. Spiritually, they may exploit weaknesses in the target’s beliefs or values, causing a crisis of faith or existential doubt. Psychologically, the user can exploit deep-seated fears and traumas, amplifying them to unbearable levels, breaking the target’s will and leaving them vulnerable.
This ability allows the user to break their opponent down from within, making them susceptible to control or manipulation, often without the need for physical confrontation. The user’s expertise in this form of psychological warfare can turn even the most resilient individual into a shell of their former self, undermining their strength and resolve.
