Mindcage

The truly ultimate prison, the truly ultimate punishment and everyone's biggest foe is their own mind.

Effect

Basic Effects: Weaving the flows of Scath into the mind of the creature you are targeting in monstrous volumes, you seek to turn their own mind on them. They must make a Persona Defensive Test. Should they fail, they immediately are forced into a magickal unconsciousness, and cannot be woken up without the spell being broken. In this state they cannot be healed or woken up in any fashion and every hour they take 4d6 psychic damage, ignoring even immunity. Should they succeed, the sheer mental effort of fighting this off causes them to take an immediate 10d6 psychic damage, but you also take 4d6 radiant damage from the blowback of their mind resisting you as well. Whilst they are in this state, should you wish, you may enter a meditative state for an hour, and basically enter the prison of their own making, to seek to question them. For this hour they take no damage, but you may garner one answer to any question. If they know the answer, they cannot hide it from you, as you wander their mind like most might wander a bar. However if they do not know the answer, their mind will formulate one out of desperation to be freed, hoping answering your questions will result in release.
