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.

just for the sake of proper citation, these 2 paragraphs posted by telempath :

Now, if you are able to see the connection between the two you can probably begin to formulate the total ineffectiveness that shielding of any form creates in a situation against a Leech or a rogue Vampire. They will just latch onto your shielding and absorb the energy slowly, without you knowing, from there. Actually, it is more effective to drain energy off ones shielding than to take it directly from the body as it is already in a focused format. Another disadvantage for the shielder is that you will not realize that you are being fed off of until long after the actual feeding is done and you withdrawal your shield back into the self. At which time you will probably feel incredibly drained for no apparent reason what so ever. Your confidence and faith that your shielding is going to make it easier for the Leech to drain off the energy from you.

As such, most forms of shielding are totally and completely ineffective in any way, shape, or form. Though there are a handful of techniques that one can use against the unwitting Leech or rogue Vampire. Among those techniques would be the various methods of grounding. Which, basically, involves directing any excess energy that you have after a magical working back into the ground that it came from. Hence the name - grounding. In the case of a person trying to drain your energy you first have to realize that a person or thing is draining your energy. Then you focus upon the place which you believe that the energy is being drained from your body and direct the focus of the drain down to the earth which will give the person or thing attempting to suck your energy a rather large jolt of energy equitable to drinking down five cups of coffee in a matter of seconds. This being due to the fact that the energies of the planet are rather potent as any practicing Wiccan or Pagan can tell you. Thus giving the person attempting to feed off of you a rather large jolt of energy that usually causes an overload of energy that results in the person or thing breaking off the attempt to feed. Especially if the party attempting the draining is used to the psychic forms of energy as opposed to any other.
