The most infuriating of all Mauder's tricks.
Mauder, the clown demon, had an ultimate skill that was as irritating as it was dangerous.
It wasn't a straightforward physical attack or some overwhelming magical nuke—it was a trap for the mind, one meticulously designed to pry open a person's heart and exploit the smallest cracks.
The ability's premise was simple:
Lock your target inside a pre-written story of Mauder's own design.
Once inside, you'd be forced to play along with whatever twisted narrative he'd set for you—every word, every scene, every heartbreak carefully tailored to break you down from the inside.
The events themselves didn't directly harm your real body.
No matter what happened inside that fabricated world, your flesh remained untouched.
But your heart… that was another matter.
Because the moment your spirit gave in—when grief, despair, or hopelessness finally took hold—was the moment the illusion stopped being an illusion.
