//Rules governing [[Advent Classes]]//\\

**Pronounciation**: (NAY-iv-nee)\\

The Neamhni are masters of the mind and the void. They are able to convert their ki energy into the material void, creating a cold, misty black shadow which they manipulate to their purposes. They have also developed formidable mental powers, able to cloud the mind with dark thoughts. They can even reach into another creature's mind to discover, and alter, their darkest secrets

If the target fails this check, you may change one detail of the memory, subject to GM discretion. The target creature is unaware of the change. If the target makes the check, they are vaguely aware of the attempt, and you cannot attempt to alter the target's memories again for 1 day\\

You must have knowledge of the target creature's memory which you wish to alter.  Changed memories are restored to their original state after 1 month.
