"Thoughts are the wildest magic of all."
- Anonymous, Wild Years
Mind magic deals with the invisible threads between minds - peeking, nudging, or sometimes pulling them outright.

A caster might catch a flicker of a secret thought or plant a tiny suggestion - "stay still," "trust me" - like slipping a whisper into the mind's ear.

Subject remained calm despite questioning. Caster used a mild compulsion spell to ease tension. "Don't resist," it said, barely audible in thought. Subject complied without raising alarm.

But full control? That's a darker path. Mind magic can turn wills into puppets, bending sentient creatures to the caster's design. Rare, risky, and ethically fraught.

[Interview – Ethical Mage Council]
"Mind magic cuts deepest because it steals what makes us human - our freedom to choose. Even a small compulsion is a line crossed."

Albert's note:
"No one truly understands where thoughts end and magic begins. And maybe that's for the best."
