The “Venom Thought Bomb” (or VTB) was a supposed weapon used by students of an esoteric psychic “science” called Thought-Form Imposition (or TFI) in which internal beliefs were projected out and imposed on the minds of others. The formal practice of TFI, as taught by the discipline’s founder Mark Lee Thomas (known as MLT for short), fell off considerably after Thomas ordered his followers to attack the police squad sent to arrest him for statutory rape and tax evasion, and the cops shot a lot of them dead while Thomas vanished from view. There are still people who revere Mark Lee Thomas as the Initial Illuminated Intellect (or “III”—TFI loved its three letter acronyms) but TFI is on a number of government watch lists.
By hook or crook, you got the hang of this one psychic ability. You just think about the worst thing that happened to you for ten minutes every night, visualizing that event as a sopping green ball of poison that you hold in the back of your throat. When you want to mess someone up, you picture hawking that venomous goober at them. But then you have to mentally prepare another VTB by intensely meditating on your bitterest memory.
It’s Vague Harm, straight no chaser. How’d you learn VTB though? Do you have any idea what happened to ol’ MLT the III? Could he really read minds, corrode metals, walk through walls and infuse people with irresistible sexual desire for him? (Those disciplines are known as LTA, TEI, MBP and ERI, respectively.)
I have Venom Thought Bombs, of course I can externalise my pain and project it onto someone else.
