Maybe, but Marie would be a better candidate, she IS a psychiatrist after all.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Because she is essentially psychologically conditioned by her poor roll. Which is much easier to cure.

((emp is dead on really, shes imprinted to Angel's looks and personality, hence why shes not after Nimue too. If Selina knows its one of the two, then the addiction effects kick in. I'd post the PM quotes if I wasn't on a DSI.))

And what part of this indicates that giving Angel a new dress or making Selina feel a prick in her forehead whenever she sees Angel or something will stop it?

[Xantalos]

People telling her the difference?

[Empiricist]

looks

If it really comes down to it, illusion magic. Make it completely alter MG!Angel's appearance via contact lenses. I don't mean a tiny prick, I mean a sudden burst of intense heat or cold, essentially, reverse the conditioning with more conditioning.

...Um, let me requote the bit I'm referring to.

If Selina knows its one of the two, then the addiction effects kick in.

MG!Angel is one of the two.

emp is dead on really

Confirmation that she is conditioned. Conditioning is not magical, it is psychological. We can fix it.

[GreatWyrmGold]

His saying you were dead on is contradictory with the rest of the post.

And, again, if it was curable by psychiatry, how is it incurable?

[Empiricist]

Her attraction to TA!Angel IS incurable.
Her attraction to MG!Angel is curable.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Unless I see something in those PMs that suggests such, I'm pretty sure her addiction to each is one and the same.

[Empiricist]

How? MG!Angel IS NOT A VAMPIRE! She never bit Selina either.

[GreatWyrmGold]

How? I dunno. But from Cado's phrasings of these PMs, I don't see anything suggesting that her addiction to TAngel is somehow separate from that to her own Angel.

[Empiricist]

Except the argument made which the quote stated was 'dead on' was that the two are in fact separate. One is physiological, one is psychological.

[GreatWyrmGold]

And what makes you think this psychological conditioning is a separate thing from whatever causes the addiction? Did the addiction coincidentally happen at the same time as the psychological conditioning? I don't get what you're saying.

[Empiricist]

No, I am stating the following:
-Selina is incurably addicted to TA!Angel
-Selina has trouble differentiating MG!Angel from TA!Angel
-Hence, she thinks that MG!Angel also provides relief from the symptoms
-That incorrect belief essentially has conditioned her.

Therefore:
-Selina is addicted to TA!Angel (think Darnos to TA!Angel)
-Selina is conditioned to MG!Angel (think Victoria to TA!Selina)

[GreatWyrmGold]

The way Cado described it, it sounded like her addiction to each Angel was the same thing. And it's not like she can't tell the difference between the two--again, TAngel has a tail, fangs, and so forth.

What you are describing is basically the nocebo* effect. However, this requires knowledge of what the vampire venom would do, which Selina did not gain until after she started displaying symptoms--towards MG!Angel!

*Basically, placebo, but for things that hurt people.
