Penetration question

Noone ever builds the black mirror, due to the subject always resisting - earth orbs are safer, better cheaper.

But VFB- do you actually *know* what happens if you build it (and use it)?

I've built the Black Mirror. Probably in one of those horrible games that never ends, and just goes on forever, and there are no good artifacts left. By "earth orb" do you mean "stone sphere"?

Well, I was wrong about the caster needing S! I just assumed that.

All the other effects are in the manual, anyone can look it up an see what it does. I never had an opportunity to try out the "dispel illusion", since there's not a whole lot of units with the Illusion tag. You'd need to fight someone with Fata Morgana up, or who like casting MoD, to get any any benefit in battle, probably.

great!
Giving advise when you dont know it yourself is just excellent personality,congrats.

I was also assuming that it needs a S mage to use it,you know.
The description of Mind Hunt is not a tough read.
I still asked here because i wanted to make sure.
And the side effect is so minor,that it wasnt worth mentioning...obviously you couldnt resist...again.
Because of your false advise i didnt built it in one of my games that turn.Not sure if i am building it anyways,but still
