Psychophagy is a psychic ritual that provides a long duration buff to the invoker's psychic sensitivity at the cost of rendering the target permanently psychically dead.
Acquisition[edit]
The psychophagy psychic ritual can be performed once every 300,000 ticks (5 in-game days) at a psychic ritual spot at the cost of 20 Bioferrite, once the Psychophagy research project has been completed. Note that this research requires dark study to unlock. The ritual takes 10,000 ticks (4 in-game hours) to complete.
Summary[edit]
- 1 day gained per 1% ritual quality
- Grants 50% psychic sensitivity to the invoker for the duration of the effect.
- Has a chance of:
- liquefying targets brain, killing them in the process,
- applying a psychic scarring to the brain. [Verify]
- Target becomes psychically dead, permanently setting their psychic sensitivity to 0%. This effectively prevents consequent usages of Psychophagy (or any phage rituals) on same pawn.
- Applies a −3 / −6 / −10 guilt thought for participants.[Thought Template] This thought is nullified by the Psychopath traits, being Inhumanized, as well as Psychic rituals: Exalted precept.
