gollark: Obviously the lace person has had [REDACTED] time units and resources to hone their craft.
gollark: Oh, we're discussing *magic-based* ones so it's fine.
gollark: As I said, it's quite energetically cheap to just drop a 100kg thing on them from a height.
gollark: In any case, I also didn't say mind control.
gollark: So you have mental combat which *somehow* only allows read access but still has defenses and stuff? This seems unreasonable. I don't think you can cleanly separate read/write out for brains that way.
