Small mole-like animals
which inhabit most places above &&
below
ground,
brain moles are attracted
by psionic activity of any sort --
incl. magic
spells which duplicate psionic effects.
When a brain mole is within
30' of any creature exercising such psionic activity,
it will seek to feed upon
the energy being used by psionically "burrowing" into the mind.
This has the effect of attacking
the mind with a 121 point strength mind thrust
upon the creature using psionic energy.
This burrowing will have
a 20% chance per melee round of causing permanent insanity
in non-psionically endowed creatures employing psionic energy through spells
|| magical items.
Cessation of the spell or
abandoning the USE of the magic item will immediately relieve the attack.
A psionic under attack must
escape the range of the brain mole or kill it to halt its burrowing.
