Unconventional Defense, A theory in work Options

I had this thought the other day, I was hoping someone could tell me how feasible it is.

Say you're having trouble with a psychic leech. And say you notice how it drains you. Could you not scare off the attacker by letting him suck off all your negativity?

Imagine you were a leech, you find a good target with plenty of energy, and you begin to feed. You feel good at first, then before you know it, you feel like crud. You realize you're sucking in the wrong kind of energy, so you try to stop the connection. But you find your target is forcing it open and dumping all her negativity on you. Your victim leaves the encounter feeling happy and vibrant, and you feel like someone took a heaping steamy dump on your leeching spirit.

Likewise, it could work by sending extremely positive, loving emotions. I'd imagine a black mage would have a tough time being evil if he just sucked in a massive dose of love or enlightenment.

I could be way off tho, I don't know much about magic.

This has just gotten fun.

I have only met four true sociopaths in my life. The first, truly did not care at all about anyone including himself, other then in the pleasure actions can cause him.

The others had much stronger self preservation tendencies. I enjoyed my time with each of them, because fun takes on a whole new meaning…and at the time I was in full rebellion against society mode.

Every person that has shown vampiric tendencies around me, have had big empathic ties. They might not identify it as such, they might not know about it, they might claim the opposite. However if you dig…my strongest physic gift if it can be called that. You will find they have such empathy for others that it has hurt them. This has usually caused some self loathing that they are going down other avenues to cover up that vulnerability.

Not connected. Head blind people piss me off and most "so called" psions are too stupid to be around, and most "magickal" users are annoying in person, so I limit my contact to vampires and other psions in real life when I can. Most vampiric people, including myself, leech off of others because they need to. Let us just say that my psionic gifts and other things screw me over so bad, that I can actually croak. They don't have any emotional issues what so ever. Most do not even know that they are doing it. Sociopathic behavior is normally tied to other neurological disorders. Mine is not tied to my psychology. It is tied to my neurology. I do not want to go into it. I actually believe that I developed a psionic form of empathy because I do not possess the average form. I don't really understand emotions as other people do. For a time it was hard for me to feel for myself. If there was a situation where I should be angry, I tapped into the anger of another person and channeled it. I actually had to learn to feel. I felt through my gift. I am not going to go into my history.

People find that disturbing about me in person. I can do an action that harms another with no concept that what I did was wrong or feel any type of guilt. I actually understand the world through my "gifts" so to speak.

People take energy for different reasons. Some good some bad. Some crazy some not. Some with self-esteem issues. Some who knows. The important thing is to be prepared. I am looking at the situation from the stand point of what I would do, but I guess most people wouldn't attract the attention of someone like me, I guess. Personally, I prefer the the string puppet approach. I establish multiple links. Each link has about three or four sub links. Like a string connected to a string connected to a string. Each string is controlled by a part of my consciousness and I can control them all at the same time. If one gets severed, flooded, or whatever, I have the other ones. I can reestablish a connection from the one that has been severed, while staying in contact. You would have to flood them all at the same time, but due to the way that it is divided, the energy is distrubted unevenly so it softens or cushions the blow so its not such a shock. You would have to send huge amounts of energy to each system in turn, which would drain the crap out of you. I also pointed out the dumping and grounding out mechanisms.

I say stay out of reach and out of sight.

I say that the best way is to avoid be detected or break the link. If I don't dump the energy altogether, I use the power boost to strengthen the connection and the draw, so the person just gave me extra energy to power my assault, in that type of situation. I don't think the whole sending energy thing is a good idea.

But there is a twist to your original suggestion. Say the person was an empath. What if they tapped into the negativity of someone else and added it to their own and blasted the leech that way. It would pack a better punch than just what you suggested.

A variation of that could be drawing in energy and then releasing it and having it expand outward breaking the link. I use a method like that when I do not feel like being bothered. I suck in energy and withdraw it into myself along with some of my own and then let it expand outward in a type of all around blast. The goal is not for it to be absorbant, but for it to concussive so it cuts through the links not hits the person. Sticking to the basics, you can use a type of body positioning. Breathing in is normally, in most paradigms, connected to taking in energy. Breathe in the extra energy. Store it. While inside, tweak it with whatever imagery you want or whatever and change its properties a little bit so that its more of a blow. You can in your mind see and feel it hardening into a smooth and hard substance. Breathe out and release it. I will say it again. I think feeding the person any type of energy is a big no no.
