Description

The user has a modified brain, pushing past the normal limitations and greatly enhancing their normal mind. A modified mind may result in improved Mind-Based Powers, including Cognitive Powers and even Psychic Powers. The modified mind may also impose weaknesses such as memory loss, severe headaches, cognitive disorders, altered personality, or even behavioural controls.

Variations

• Augmented Mind: The mind modification is the result of implants, cranial attachments, or other physical devices integrated with the brain. Such augmentation is most commonly associated with advanced computer technology, but it may also be achieved through biological implants or fusing with a supernatural device.

• Directly Modified Mind: The mind modification is the result of someone having directly manipulated the structure of the brain. This could be done via an esoteric power (magic, psionics, divine powers, angelic powers, demonic powers, etc.) or through an advanced scientific process such as genetic engineering.

• Reprogrammed Mind: The mind modification leaves the brain physically unchanged but has reprogrammed how the minds works/thinks and may have altered knowledge and memories of the user.
