Very few are those who truly know their limits, and even further apart are
those who are actually able to surpass them. Those gifted with the true skill
of Introversion are able to do this. Like any other achievement, this sadly
comes with a price. A price far too heavy for most to pay. As the boundaries
of what is 'possible' are crossed, something that cannot cope without
humanity is left behind. Memories, experiences of the past life, and even
vital knowledge fades as one alienates from the mundane. What triggers this 
process depends on the merits of specialty in the individual of question.
Some surpass their limits by enlightenment, others through growth by pain.
Yet one fact remains. The process is destructive and precautions must be
taken. The gift of introversion allows its master to shape his experiences
as a shell within which the most vital knowledge remains. Should sufficient
experience be stored this way, it will be eaten away by the change, and the
inmost self is left unharmed. Should such protection not exist, the effects
of transformation are potentially monstrous. Depending on the price to pay,
an unprotected creature may suffer partial or total loss of any or every
skill, partial or total loss of any or every spell or the loss of one,
several, or all levels. Experiences and memories used to shield one's mind
stay invested in this manner until usage or reincarnation.
Syntax: 'use introversion at ' to store experience OR
        'use introversion at check' to see the strength of your barrier.
