Hallucination Endurance Training
Hallucination Endurance Training is when a sapient takes a minor dose of psilocybin or another psychedelic substance, sits in the lotcus position (or at least the closest possible for the species doing it) and focuses deeply, putting all their energy into grounding themselves in reality. It is often done by sapients training to battle as some attacks may trigger hallucinations, like Psychocybin spore bursts or certain psychic attacks.
History
The first version of It was made years by Sekazians when they wished to explore their minds through psychadelic substances obtained from Psycalians, mostly Psychocybin mushrooms, obtained from Psycalians, though later, as battling grew more popular, Sekazians thought to alter it to help train others to resist hallucinations instead, Psycalians enjoyed this idea and took it for themselves, even setting up areas for folk to practice this, a studio with several rooms for them to practice in. These studios continue into modern day, both in Sekaze and Psycalia.
Execution
The sapient doing it enters a HET Studio with one of the practitioners and then goes just outside one of it's many empty rooms, and takes the apporpiately sized dose to cause mild hallucinations for around half an hour, they then enter the empty room and enter the lotus position (or at least the closest possible for the species doing it) before putting all their energy into focusing, ignoring all hallucinations until the 30 minutes are up. The goal of HET is not to build a physical tolerance to psilocybin and other substances, but to train oneself to resist any hallucinations they may experience when exposed to certain psychic auras or other substances.
Components and tools
Euphorium mushrooms and a zabuton (Sekazian floor pillow).
Participants
Most who are learning to battle and even some who just want to explore will undergo HET. A Practitioner would be present throughout the entire HET session, just outside the room the sapient undergoing it is in to overlook them and ensure that they do not panic or attempt to flee if the hallucinations grow too intense.
Observance
HET is done throughout the year due to constant streams of new battlers. Because of this, studios are open all year round, so if there are sapients willing to undergo it, they will be able to, any day, any time.
