Mind Virus

Mind Virus is a touch based spell of the Ancient of Control, and an infamous one at that. So much so that it is a cultural norm to not shake hands with a known Lore of Control user and anyone who does so anyway is considered moronic.

As the name suggests it is a virus like spell that gets passed along through touch and plants a mind control 'seed' ready to bloom at the spell users will. Due to this, people tend to be wary around anyone who learns this spell, its unique ability to go completely unnoticed by others makes it even more dangerous.

Effect

When casted, Mind Virus inserts a set of instructions for the victim of the spell to carry out once the conditions are met. The instructions follow programmer logic, and once casted, it is possible to make the victim do anything.

Said anything can include committing suicide or committing murder.

There are limits to how many active victims a Lore of Control user can have, and due to being an active spell, it turns a positive result in every Active Spell Detection spell.

Manifestation

When the Mind Virus' victim meets the conditions set by the caster, the victim's face goes blank as they proceed to carry out the spell's instructions.
