User:TheBlackKingArthur/Legilimency

Legilimency is the rare and coveted ability to fully sense & manipulate the minds & emotions of other beings. This power is an extremely evolved form of Empathy & Telepathy, and it has proven itself to be extremely useful.

There exist a only a few handful of beings with this power, and only a select few of them are Casters. To date, the only known Caster to possess this power are Phoebe Halliwell-Hart; she came into this power after her own powerful psychic abilities advanced and evolved.

Also Called

 * Pathokinesis
 * Psychic Manipulation

Development
Phoebe Halliwell-Hart is the first Caster to ever bear this power. Phoebe first, however, acquired the power of Empathy and it allowed her to only sense & project emotions. A few years after she mastered her Empathic abilities, it evolved into Pathokinesis. Using this new power, Phoebe learned that not only could she fully manipulate the entire Empathic Spectrum, but she could now control the thoughts and memories of other beings as well.

Capabilities
While not much is known about it, Legilimency is known to have three major categories. The first category, Pathokinetic Charging, allows the user to take take existing thoughts & emotions and charge them to dangerous levels or completely nullify them.

The second category, Pathokinetic Projection, has to do with passing on the users on "sensations" and making the target experience what they are experiencing. Users can share thoughts and emotions with other people by forcing their own will into them. They can also pass their own "sensations" on to others to make them feel what they are feeling.

The final & most powerful category, Pathokinetic Manipulation, allows the user to create all new thoughts & emotions in order to change what others are feeling & thinking as well as effect them in someway with the replicated emotion that is being manipulated.

Usage
Though the effects of Legilimency are strong at even it's most Basic Level, it takes a great deal of practice and determination to unlock the full extent of it's abilities. It can take up to months or even years to perfect each aspect of Legilimency.

Mental Manipulation
The ability to modify and control the thoughts, mindsets, and upper brain functions of other beings. This aspect of Legilimency is derived from it's Telepathic Evolution and it allows users manipulate the minds of manipulate, modify, and control the thoughts of mindsets of other beings. They can make others believe what they want, manipulate their memories, control their thinking process, and even destroy the walls of somebody's mind.

Empathic Manipulation
The ability to manipulate the emotions of others. Empathic Manipulation is very similar to its sister power Mental Manipulation, as with Mental Manipulation one is able to change a persons thoughts, while Empathic Manipulation changes a persons emotions or sensations.

Psychic Reflections
Psychic Refeflections is ability that allows the user to channel the worst memories of a persons life, as well as the thoughts and memories associated with it, and reflect them upon other beings through the use of different mediums. Like with Legilimency, Psychic Reflections is a powerful Psionic Power that is derived from powers such as Empathy or Telepathy.

This being said, beings that possess this power don't always possess the abilities of Empathy or Telepathy. This is evidenced with the Witch, Kate Mitchell; she developed this power after her Psychometry grew so powerful that it allowed to her manipulate the memories of her targets, giving her the ability to erase, rewrite, and even project/reflect memories onto others.
