School of Mind Breaking

Illusion users usually use their capacity to trick and confuse their opponent. The only exception are wizards from the school of mind breaking. This school is a variation of the illusion one. Against them, who cares what is real or not, even illusion can hurt you. You can't trust your senses, since they are in the enemy grasp. From an exterior point of view, it is also a really surprising sight, that a seemingly weak and frail bookworm can beat an experienced warrior without even touching him.

Mentalist

What is the first step to manipulate someone? Understanding them, knowing even the smallest detail of their life. Mind breaking wizard has been trained in that art. 

 

Beginning when you select this school at 2nd level, if you talk with someone for more than a minute, you can learn one of those pieces of information.

The person/people he cares the most about, his life goal, the person he hates the most, a part of his life story or his greatest fear.

It gives you advantage on all intimidation, persuasion and insight ability checks against this person for a week.

You can talk to this person again for a minute to reset the week.

The time needed doubles for every person in the conversation.

Sharp illusion

In your hand appears a one handed sword, your opponent, in his plate armor, laughs at you. Then, you attack and in a perfect mouvement you hit him in the junction of two plates. In reality, you haven't even moved your finger tip. However, all of this really happened in the warrior head and you see it scream in pain as you slowly prepare your next ''hit''
