Mockra
The warren of the mind, the most common natural talent in the Malazan world, used to raise mental blocks, seal away memories, read thoughts, and take a body's control from its owner.
Mockra is the warren of the mind, and the most common natural talent: no formal training is needed for some people to feel ill thoughts directed at them as a whispering unease or the hair rising on the back of the neck. A practitioner can raise a mental block a victim knows is there and still cannot penetrate, make a target misread the passage of time, take away control of a body, force sleep, or boil a brain in its skull. Mockra can seal off specific memories, though the target senses the emptiness and never quite stops reaching for it, and it can ease a traumatic memory by changing how the mind feels about it. It also opens minds to be read, and some who work it draw visions of the future. Scholars have called it a child of High Thyr and set Meanas beside it as a sister warren, and some hold it was born in the jungles of Dal Hon.
