@DizzyDazzle yes. Mc was once also put under brainwash. and is now very careful towards it.
Mc magic control was once as good as that of elfs. now its even better. he can check the body by magic sense and by stimulating the body. thats how he can detect the bad drugs.
the magic use is a suggestion type of brainwash. where key words are imprinted in someone's head and the person starts to think that in the back of their head.
example, 'come back next week.' is set.
the person under will then want to, ''come back next week.'' and will work towards that happening.
their is 4 ways to break the spell.
1 is having the caster stop it. as magic has something like a fingerprint. the caster can undo the casting in such spells.
2 is to dispel it with status healing magic or potion.
3 is to override it with a stronger spell.
4 is to override it by stimuli. any thing that brings hard emotions. shock, pleasure, satisfaction. or even mental satisfaction.
to be honest. Elfs has always been a Racist race. always thinking they are superiors to other races.
and this world where std`s are practically non existent. and with 100% baby prevention. even afterwards with just a snap of your fingers.
