Torrent of Thought

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

The mind can only process so much at once. This is not a weakness. It is simply the nature of a finite system managing an infinite amount of possible input. Nightmare understands this limitation with great precision. Torrent of Thought is Nightmare using that precision deliberately.

The mentimancer reaches through Nightmare and opens a channel directly into the target's mind, not as a gentle connection, not as a careful transmission, but as a flood. Every thought, every image, every memory fragment and half-formed impression that Nightmare can summon pours through the channel simultaneously, a torrent of mental content so vast and so relentless that the target's mind cannot begin to sort it. Processing fails. The brain, already overwhelmed by everything being forced through it, begins triaging - and vision, which requires constant and significant mental resources to render, is the first thing to go. The target is not physically blind. Their eyes continue to receive light and information. Their mind simply has no capacity left to do anything with it. Blindness takes hold and remains until the torrent subsides. This blindness cannot be treated, for it isn't a true blindness but a condition of an overtaxed mind. The world continues in front of them, unseen, while Nightmare fills every available space in their mind with everything at once.
