The Sorcerer focuses in on the FOE's thoughts, spirit and dark magical energies to infuse against their will the worst personal focused battle nightmare they could have - battle against themselves! If successfully warded by enough, the endangered enemy will see a mass
of painful visions within his mind which seize his other senses of perception as if in a waking dream. The invisible enemy inside the mind and soul of the victim is the worst enemy they can face and of course this is themselves exactly mimicking every move they make. They are staring at an angry version of themselves on a battlefield with none else around and the weak minded enemy of the Sorcerer becomes completely consumed by their own alter-ego unable to even perceive the Sorcerer anymore! The target slowly begins to realize
that the vision is about to attack him and he has to strike first! They each are behaving as if the Sorcerer enemy is now the enemy of themselves within their mind and they each have to strike to kill! The Sorcerer eases back and watches the hilarious entity manage to do most unnatural things with the weapon in its hand. Bashing itself to bits and not feeling any pain, it caves its own skull in and the ordeal is now a memory.

Next victim?


So basically this will make the enemy strike itself and the power of the Nightmare and the intimacy with itself makes the blows more precise, more deadly to begin with. Their DS numbers would drop, their AS/CS/MANUEVER stuff will all get big bonuses and they will be more likely to be criticals. An extremely high chance for a kill. And the best part is the foe turns into a deathstone which the Sorc can grab (and only the sorc, it cannot be transferred) to consume it for a return on the mana it cost to cast the spell! hiccup Say 75% to start plus lores. If the connect point is +25 over a +1 Warding success to work (something like Wiz Sleep?) then it can be made up a bit with the mana stone because you can see a lot of failures. Also I'd like to see not too too quick nor too fast on this. It's not Call Lightning levels of prep time to see the struggle and the cessation of its life but it could be 12 seconds or something. Also, this is a big big huge chance for codes to relish the creative end of designing creatures with minds to have these bizarre suicidal nightmares.

If 'CAST' not 'INCANTED' then a wavering ethereal mirror appears which can be used as a battle tool. When put up into a weak-minded creatures face, should the creature dare look then the spell will be cast at a reduced effect which causes the spell NIGHTMARE to manifest instantly. The mirror dissolves upon use which is activated by MIU by non-Sorcs. If the Caster of their own mirror uses their own NIGHTARE MIRROR in a battle, then it prepares the Target for the full strength the NM spell to come from an Incantation. So if the Sorcerer makes their own wavery mirror then heads to battle with it, whipes it out on a 100th level Bandit, if the Bandit stares into it then within the next 30 seconds when the Sorcerer incants NM upon the Bandit their TD will be much reduced (say +15 before lore so there still is a modest buffer for the failure factor). Only one mirror can be in the Sorc's inventory at a time, they must be dispensed immediately and because of their quality won't sit on a shelf (like a Player shop), so this becomes an interactive RP SERVICE for Sorcerers to gain for-- friendship, fun, COINS/LOOT, spell-trading, to get the attention of that babe you're workin on...:) whatever. A new way for Sorcs to be involving themselves in RP and to use for coins, for hunting, for groups since you will be able to help out a lot with giving each one a functional tool for the battlefield.
