In the case of the Attaryl witches, since their entire gig is mind control and mental manipulation. they'd have better mental defences against what Allison is trying to do. So I'd say she'd find it harder to affect them, meaning she'd only be able to impact a smaller/moderate number of them, and it would be for a shorter period of time than her usual thralls last. I leave it up to you to decide what that means, numerically and quantifiably.

Cool cool cool so no "I heard a rumor that you forgot this ever happened" for those witches then. Duly noted.

[groundrules]

Or maybe not for an extended period, yep!

I think probably the only thing that would outright fail would be a rumour that they'd self-harmed or committed suicide - if they're a clan of witches who deal in mind control, I can imagine their elders taught them some defences, so you don't get edgy witches trying to 'suicide' their schoolmates.

[rumorate]

Yeah, that's not really her thing (and it's also not mine) so that wouldn't be an issue.

If she's on the Bessiss mission though, would she come up against the same issues?

[groundrules]

Those guys would definitely be less defended against mental attacks and mental manipulation — easier targets for Allison's skill for sure.

Okay, sounds good! Thanks!
