Intrusions
A healthy inner dialogue is a key to mental wellness, but sometimes other voices intrude on the conversation. These confuse the dialogue, ultimately leading the person to become a creature they were not meant to be. Once the Intrusions choose a victim, they are almost impossible to get rid of.
In societies where magic is prized, the presence of Intrusions are associated with dark magic, for many who practice forbidden arts admit to listening to Intrusions. Instead of fearing Intrusions, dark mages worship them as the source of their power.
Causes
There are some conditions which make a person susceptible to Intrusions. Childhood trauma is the most common, for these create an opening at the deepest recesses of the mind. Ignoring ones faults is also dangerous, for if done long enough the fault comes to find them. Of course, there are also those who openly invite Intrusions through heavy drugs, but such people were half-crazy to begin with.
