   This spell is rarely used by and poorly understood by most.  The effect of the spell is to, partly by bioelectrical and partly by magickal means, alter one's brain.  

This alteration both induces a degree of temporary malfunction, confusion, or madness, and, more importantly, grants one a large degree of resistence to psychic effects. It is not clear to scholars exactly how the spell works, but it is suspected that it operates by forcing an isomorphism between the target's neural structure and between weather patterns -- though in what way, or what this even means, is less than clear. This spell involves directing atmospheric lightning from the source and so must be cast outside. The psionic protection will last as long as the accompanying mental disorder,and degrade in strength as it does. More skilled casters can get an equal effect with less severe mental disorders.
