'''Mental Lore, Manipulation''' involves the mental manipulation of matter, such as telekinetically moving a large boulder that blocks a path, or causing an object to burst into flames.

Manipulation Lore currently plays a role in various [[Empath Base]] Spells and [[Bard Base]] Spells, and likely in future will play a part in spells in the [[Major Mental]] list, [[Minor Mental]] list and [[Savant Base]] list.

== Empath Base ==
;*[[Heal/Harm (1101)]]
:Provides a [[hitpoint]] (HP) damage bonus according to seed 1 of the [[summation chart]].

;*[[Bone Shatter (1106)]]
:Increases the chance for an instant kill.

;*[[Empathic Assault (1110)]]
:Manipulation Lore will provide a TD pushdown for the CS cycles of this attack spell.

;*[[Wither (1115)]]
:Increases the chance for an instant kill.

;*[[Regeneration (1150)]]
:Increases protection from critical attacks while active.

== Bard Base ==
;*[[Vibration Chant (1002)]]
:Ranks in this lore will decrease the minimum endroll threshold required to shatter a target's weapon or shield. The base reduction is 2 with an additional bonus for each rank, however there are diminishing returns with increased training.

;*[[Purification Song (1004)]]
:A single rank in this lore will reduce failure for the song, i.e, reduce the chance for shattering a gem. Further protection with additional ranks are listed on the page for this spell.

;*[[Singing Sword Song (1025)]]
:Training in this lore increases the attack strength of a Singing Sword Song's manifestation. The AS is calculated as: Weapon skill + (Bard Spell ranks - 25)/2 + (INF bonus + AURA bonus)/2 + (CMAN ranks/2) + (Mental Lore, Manipulation ranks/2) + MB, where MB = 25 if fighting a living creature, or 10 if fighting undead.

;*[[Song of Sonic Disruption (1030)]]
:At 15 ranks of this lore, a focused version of the spell (single target) can be sung for half the mana cost (15 mana). At 30 ranks, the non-focused version of the spell will have the same damage benefit as singing it while playing a one-handed instrument with adept skill. At 45 ranks, the focused version of the spell will have the same damage benefit as singing it while playing a one-handed instrument with adept skill. At 60 ranks, the non-focused version of the spell will have the same damage benefit as singing it while playing a two-handed instrument with adept skill. At 75 ranks, the focused version of the spell will have the same damage benefit as singing it while playing a two-handed instrument with adept skill.

==Minor Mental==
;*[[Telekinesis (1206)]]
:Increases the damage factor by .001 per rank up to 50 ranks, .001 per two ranks for ranks 51 to 100 and .001 per four ranks for ranks above 100.

;*[[Force Projection (1207)]]
:Increases chance of success based on manipulation skill. 100 skill is "more of a penalty than the bonus that most individual spells provide to maneuver defense (at 100 spell ranks)" (see saved posts).

;*[[Thought Lash (1210)]]
:Increases subsequent [[critical]] damage on the target based on skill. 100 skill will increase crit damage by "a little less than half a crit rank." (see saved posts)
