Latest revision as of 17:40, 25 September 2024

The brilliant intellect of vampires harbor a fire and shrewdness unmatched among mortals. Through the mysterious powers of Mentis, the vampires spread mental afflictions, fomenting insanity among mortal and vampire alike. These telepathic powers start merely by expanding the consciousness, but as a vampire's powers of Mentis grow, their strength of will channels into the power to bend minds and control actions. With a piercing gaze, the master of Mentis can cause even the strongest mortal mind to crumble and push even other vampires to accede to their desires. This powerful mental discipline encompasses subtle textures and emotional states, transcending the physical limitations of the body while developing sharpness of the Mind.

Whispers are the manner in which you can condition your opponent into various mental states that will grant you an advantage in on the field of battle.

All whispers can be performed off balance providing you have not fallen on the ground, allowing you to attack with balance-based skill and then whisper an affliction to your opponent.

You will learn new afflictions to whisper as you continue to progress in Mentis.

While whispering is possible in many situations where normally you'd normally be unable to act, it is however difficult to do so while fallen and afflicted by stupidity, or while transfixed.

You can type AFFLICTION <name> to learn more about what an affliction from Mentis does.

Details: Psychic combat is a telepathic battle between two players where the goal is to crumple

your opponent's mind. There is no penalty for losing, however those with deathsight will feel the moment a game is decided. There are only seven commands associated with psychic combat that may be used, and when you accept you will be transported to a special location out of harm's way. Most other commands will not work until the game is complete.

You can do the following in psychic combat:

PSY BLAST: Blast your opponent's mind and attack their mental fortitude.

PSY BARRIER: Erect a barrier that protects your mind from psychic blasts.

PSY WHIP: Tear away your opponent's mental barrier if they have one.

PSY SURGE: If your opponent has less than half of their mental energy, you can end the match in a surge of psychic power. This is costly to perform and could result in your own loss if misjudged.

PSY PROBE: Use your mind to determine your opponent's mental energy.

PSY MEDITATE: Meditate your mind in order to recover your mental energy. This is a slow process.

PSY ESCAPE: This takes some time, during which you may not do anything else. Once the ability is successful, an exit will open up, allowing you to escape.
