Awakened Mind

This spell is a part of the Psy Dagger spell chain and is found in the Psy Dagger rune stone.

The mind, at its fullest expression, does not accept limitations. This is what Nightmare understands that most do not - that the boundaries between elements, between strong and weak, between what can and cannot be harmed - these are not laws. They are assumptions. And the mind, when truly awakened, does not share the assumptions of the world around it.

Awakened Mind does not enhance the mentimancer's power so much as it removes the filters through which that power was being constrained. Every target becomes equally vulnerable. The elemental protections they carry, the resistances built into their very nature, rendered irrelevant by a mind that has simply decided not to acknowledge them. Space energy bleeds into every physical strike, the mentimancer's (or empowered ally) runic soul expressing itself through muscle and movement as readily as through magic. And the Runic Power behind every attack, physical or magical, doubles - not because the mentimancer or empowered has grown stronger, but because they have stopped holding themselves back. It does not last. The mind cannot sustain this state indefinitely. But for the duration, the empowered operates without ceiling. When Nightmare returns to the mentimancer's runic soul and the spell ends, the nightmare for the targets truly comes to a close and the dream for the empowered finally ends.
