[glow=red,2,300]Introduction to Genjutsu[/glow]
GENJUTSU – THE FIVE BASICS
Definition of Mind Affecting: [/u] Some perceptions are Mind affecting, and some are not. Mind affecting is something that affects the mind itself that changes a person all together such as blindness, unconscious, stunned, or even nausea. In which is not there but the mind feels it there such as weightless, or having more weight yet nothing has physically changed.
There are Five Basics that are found within the styles of Genjutsu. The basics are the first, the normal that slowly lead to the advanced form of Genjutsu just like how the five elements lead to combinations. Understand? Good.
The first one is called Figment . Figment is the term of an illusion of which creates a counterfeit and independent sensation.
Figment Illusion creates a false sensation. When a Figment Technique is perceived everyone feels the same thing, there is no alter, or different versions of a technique from person to person. This means that if a user performs a Figment Illusion on a group, everyone feels the exact same illusion. With a Figment Illusion, if a user wishes to create an affect such as speech, the user must pick the speech first in order for it to speak or else no audible speech will be heard. If intelligible speech is possible, it must be in a language the user can speak. This goes the same with images; a user cannot create an image unless the user knows the image. User can only create figments out of two sensory, sight and sound. Figments cannot cause damage to objects or creatures, support weight, provide nutrition, or provide protection from the elements. Figments are pure illusions, used for distractions, confounding, or delaying enemies. This is not a mind affecting delusion.
The second one is called Glamour . Often times, Glamour is defined as an illusion which alters how a “subject” is perceived.
Glamour Illusion changes a person's sensory qualities, making it look, feel, taste, smell, or sound like something else, or even seem to disappear. This means a person could hear something that is not there, feel something that is not there, taste something that is not there, see something that is not there. Glamour are basically hallucinations, delusions, making someone feel, see, taste, smell, or hear something that is not there, or make something not exist while being there. Glamour is illusions, used for distractions, confounding, or delaying enemies. This is not a mind affecting delusion.
The third one is called Pattern . Pattern creates an eternal image that affects the minds of those viewing it.
Pattern Illusions are like figments, a pattern technique creates an image that others can see, but a pattern also affects the minds of those who see it or are caught in it. This means that those who are trapped within Pattern Perception Techniques are also affected by other sensations that affect the mind itself such as blindness, unconscious, stunned, or even nausea. In effect, Patterns are very similar to Figment, however they have added affect used to subdue an opponent, harming their inner mind in a certain way to allow the user to perform more harmful techniques or escape without problems.
The fourth one is called Phantasm , which produces an internal mental image that affects the minds those perceiving it.
Phantasm Illusions creates a mental image usually only the user and the opponent (or opponents) of the technique can perceive. These are considered to be as personalized techniques that affects the opponent's mind. These techniques could be messages, dream stopping, complete disarray techniques. Phantasm Techniques are known to harm the person's mind, making them feel weaker, harming them through the perception of the mind but not with real life effects. Phantasm techniques are all in their heads, and are known to make people go crazy. Third parties viewing or studying the scene do not notice the phantasm. All phantasms are mind-affecting jutsus.
The fifth and last of the basics is called Shadow . Shadow is (quoting from my friend) “the aspect of which creates something that is partially real from extra-dimensional energy found in a person's mind.” Such illusions can have real effects.
Shadow Illusions deals with the perception of void, what is not seen hidden within the shadows. The mind sees through lights, and then through shadows. As some say, they say that the greatest fear is the fear of the unknown. The Shadow Illusions works differently than that of the Nara clan as the Nara Clan works and focuses on mainly their own shadow, as well as the shadows that their shadow touches. The Nara clan is, therefore, Ninjutsu. The Shadow Illusions is the fifth basic as it deals with the understanding of what the mind sees it sees and what the mind hears it hears. Shadows is an unknown force that has plagued the mind throughout existence in which one feels they have seen a figure that is not really there, a shape that is not truly its shape. The Shadow Illusions brings these shapes alive in an illusionary form, making the mind feel, and believe it is real. This is why it is called the Shadow Illusion – the one step closer to reality.
GENJUTSU – THE ADVANCED
Just like the five elements of Ninjutsu work, combining them leads to “secondary” or “advanced” elements. As such, with the basics of the five illusions, come the more advanced forms of illusions. However, Genjutsu works a little bit different. One can go into all five of the basics but can only pick one of the two illusions to go into. But there are limits: in order to go into the advanced forms of Genjutsu, one must master at least two illusions of the basics (meaning that you must train 300 TP into two illusions of the basics in order to master the illusions), as well as having 100 SP into Genjutsu as well.
The first form of Advanced Genjutsu is called Charm . Charm is defined as the illusion which changes how the subject views you typically making it, see you as a good friend.
The Charm Advanced Genjutsu change the way the subject views you. Usually, this effect is to make the target see you as a trusted friend. Through careful application of this type of Genjutsu, an Illusionist can ensnare the friendship of anyone he makes contact with. Of course, the benefits of being able to befriend local guards, the sentries of a guarded vault, or the hulking brute about to take your head off with an axe are understood. A Charm Genjutsu can be very powerful but it does not force the target to do anything outside its nature. Instead, these Genjutsus rely on the behavior that comes with an emotional bond. Used properly, Charm Genjutsus have another advantage. Victims of a Charm truly feel what the Genjutsu directs them to feel. Once the Genjutsu ends, the individual's own emotions return. Again, a person cannot force someone or make someone perceive something that is against their nature.
The second form of Advanced Genjutsu is called Compulsion . Compulsion forces the subject to act in some manner or changes the way their mind works.
The Compulsion Illusion forces the target to act in some way or changes the way his mind works. The sheer potential of that last part, 'changes the way his mind works', is incredible. One can turn enemies into allies, make vicious predator docile, or make a long lasting changes to a subject's perceptions. However, these are illusions that are mind affecting, and thus when an Illusion is over, all effects are out of the person's mind. These Genjutsu also have a limit as well as a user cannot force someone to do something out of their own nature. What this means is, have a person kill themselves. There are of course cause, and effects for these types of techniques in which when a user performs, a side affect comes into play as well. These techniques does not work on undead, or non living creatures, they do not work on creatures larger in size than the person either. [/font]
