Nightmare's Thirst

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

Nightmare knows what is buried. It has always known, the thing the target has been carrying without admitting they were carrying it, the anger that never found its outlet, the grief that became resentment, the fear that curdled into something harder and darker over time. Nightmare's Thirst finds that thing and opens the lid.

What follows is not the mentimancer's anger. It is entirely the target's own anger, pulled from somewhere deep in the subconscious and released all at once, unfiltered and undirected, a rage so old and so unresolved that the target cannot even name what it is aimed at. They simply need to destroy. They simply need to hit something, anything, with everything they have, because Nightmare has shown them the pressure that has been building behind that sealed door and the door is no longer sealed. Berserk takes hold - melee power tripling as the subconscious fury overflows - and nothing else is accessible. No spells. No skills. No items. Just the rage and the body carrying it. The target cannot be told what they are angry at. Nightmare doesn't work that way. It only opens the door. What comes out has been waiting long enough that it no longer needs direction.
