Chapter 32: Wouldn't it be bad for me, the victim, to teach you?
Isaac never expected that there would be soul-stealing wizards who had not learned the memory-stealing spell.
Among all the spells of the soul-stealing school, extracting memory is the most meaningful spell effect.
In other words, other spells of the Soul Seizing School either require the memory extraction spell for coordination and assistance...or they are themselves preparations for extracting other people's memories.
With this spell, coupled with the Soul Imperium School's spell that can change the perception of others, you can replace anyone without leaving a trace...that is, fundamentally replace this person. It is logical to take away his parents, friends, and job.
, social status and total personal wealth.
If we put it in modern times, it would be to obtain all the passwords of this person quietly; even if we have not yet reached the digital age, passwords are still necessary...the most important of which is the password used to identify nightmares.
That string of passwords that only you know, used to determine whether you are in a nightmare... If this string of passwords is stolen without anyone noticing, you can even make the other party think you are by reading out this string of passwords.
In the midst of a nightmare, he was murdered without resistance.
In addition to reading the password from the mind... as long as the memory stealing skills are high enough, people can even be informed of the specific content of the curse without being aware of it.
Of course, this is much more difficult.
If reading the surface memory is like stealing something from the outside pocket, then reading the "secrets" that the other party does not want others to know is like stealing directly from the inside pocket.
It will become very difficult to succeed without alerting the target.
This is why this kind of password that "becomes a weakness if you know it" is so popular.
Because it is not easy to know this password.
Unless it is a situation where the soul-stealing wizards are crushing, for example, a senior silver-level wizard will deal with ordinary people, or a transcendent of the Dream Stealer level will deal with a bronze-level person.
Just like Kafni became almost completely free from the ubiquitous interference of Dream Stealer Denton after becoming a Fallen.
Without this level of suppression, if you want to search for deep memories, you must start a ritual. And this means that the other party will at least know that "I have been searched for memories once."
Just like a power leveler who logs in from another place, he always needs to change his password for security reasons.
If you are very confident and feel safe, so you don't change your life... you may have no problem for more than ten times in a row, but once you encounter a problem, it will be too late to regret it.
"Because the soul-stealing spell is too harmful, generally speaking, only when the official deems it necessary and goes through a relatively complicated approval process can a trustworthy soul-stealing wizard be found to carry out this ritual and perform [deep memory reading].
"
Isaac explained carefully: "Even against spies, such violent methods cannot be used. If the skills are not good enough, it is very easy to burn the other party's brain using this ritual. And spies generally don't know too much.
The secret...the purpose of the torture is actually to 'find out how much they have spread'.
"And if they are not executed on the spot, their greatest value... is to be used in exchange for their own captured spies. In this case, overly violent methods are not recommended, as they will greatly reduce the value of the spies.
"For example, a destructive wizard arranged some ritual in advance to detonate a certain city; or he kidnapped or stole someone's child, but did not tell whether he lived or died; or he transported some contraband because he knew
Speaking out is a death sentence, so I kept silent... In this case, you can use [Deep Memory Reading] to torture.
If [memory reading] means stealing things from the outer pocket, then [deep memory reading] does not mean stealing the inner pocket, but directly shreds the clothes and people together, and then finds out what was probably originally in the pocket.
Things to install.
No matter how deep it is hidden, it can still be dug out...but the information itself may become fragments.
"Moreover, everyone also has their own secrets, ranging from privacy issues about personal relationships to important policies that have not yet been made public. Some of them can be used for blackmail, and some can be used to sell to others."
Just like the cup-holder in the past who sacrificed the "Daughter of Secrets" to the night.
When a piece of information becomes a secret, it means that it itself has value. And when only the "soul-stealing wizard" obtains the secret, it still has the value of being a secret.
As long as the secret is used properly, you can easily obtain a large amount of wealth and even become "wealth" itself.
"So, why are those high-ranking soul-stealing wizards able to read the secrets in other people's hearts without others noticing?
"Their control of this spell is easier, which is one of the important reasons. If you are not proficient enough, the moment you enter someone else's mind, they will feel a strong sense of voyeurism.
"Typical manifestations of being read by a soul-stealing wizard are [recalling a memory that has nothing to do with reality for no reason], or [an idea that just emerged in the mind reappears and becomes extremely clear].
"The deeper your understanding of this spell, the "sudden clarity" of this memory will also become shallower. If you are proficient enough, the other party will not be discovered as long as they are not vigilant enough."
Isaac taught seriously: "But at the same time, there is a more important skill. That is to use various means to make the other party start to 'recall' what you want to know.
"For example, if you want to know a certain secret of the other party, use words or scenes, or some other means to make the other party think, or subconsciously recall the information you want to know.
"So it can be said that... for soul-stealing wizards, the weapon of words is even more important than the proficiency of spells. The former directly determines the degree of intelligence they can obtain or the extent to which they can control the target, while the latter
It just determines the success rate of escaping in case of 'failure'."
Because he learned that Shi Sanxiang was an "accidentally upright" soul-stealing wizard who lacked a lot of spell-casting experience, Isaac could only try to fill in this part of his common sense for him to avoid any problems.
This would not be a good thing for others, for Shi Sanxiang himself, or even for Annan.
For example, in the Tower of Black Glory, the soul-stealing wizards all practice with "assistants".
Reading and modifying other people's memories is difficult to teach people through written means. And precisely because there are instructors watching, no matter how hard they work, the "teaching assistants" will not be consumed too quickly...
Only then can they quickly develop their skills.
During this process, you can also complete an additional task.
That is to give them a confidential and hidden "character rating score" by observing the behavior of these little wizards.
It is precisely because soul-stealing wizards can easily change the will of others, and can even eliminate disputes or cause riots.
If this power falls into the hands of someone with evil intentions, such as Dream Stealer Denton, it will undoubtedly cause great harm.
Those soul-stealing wizards who are so addicted to controlling other people's minds that they become arrogant and arrogant... usually become dark wizards after graduation, or are dealt with directly before that.
Usually the person who starts to clean up the door is their mentor.
