Casting takes 1 minute. The target must stay conscious and within your delivery range for the whole chant, or the spell fails. It makes a Charisma save opposed by your Channeling result; on a failure it forgets a single event of up to 30 minutes. If it succeeds, the spell fails and you can't Mind Wipe that target again for 24 hours (others may try).
The memory stays gone, but strong evidence that contradicts the gap lets the target make a Charisma save opposed by your result, with 1 level of Disadvantage, to recall fragments (the GM decides what returns).
Delivery restriction: one creature only.
Optional Modifiers
- Edit (+1): Alter the memory as you see fit instead of erasing it (the GM may limit plausibility).
- Greater Mind Wipe (+2): Remove an entire event, person, place, thing or concept from the target's memory (the GM rules on scope).
- ★ Combat Casting (+2): Cast it as an Invocation instead of a 1-minute chant. The target must be Restrained or otherwise unable to leave your delivery range while you cast. [School Mastery, 8+ ranks]
Critical Success
You can instead remove a complex memory spanning several hours.
