Poke in the Third Eye	comment	It's a pretty well established fact that the Invisible Jerkass is a Jerkass. Being able to see and do things without ever possibly being detected, much less identified, gives one a dangerous sense of omnipotence. The same is true for psychics or magicians who can use a Crystal Ball, Astral Projection, precognition, empathy or Telepathy to snoop where even the CIA can't... and with no possibility of detection! They'll gather even private information with impunity, because really, what is a Muggle going to do to stop him or her? Give them a Poke in the Third Eye. Turns out the "undetectable" Sinister Surveillance the Mad Scientist cooked up ain't so undetectable. Somehow the subject can detect Being Watched and does not take kindly to it. The voyeur will slowly be creeped out when the subject does not break eye contact with them despite supposedly being invisible, kilometers away, or centuries in the future, only to follow it up by somehow overloading the system, killing the Animal Eye Spy, or jamming the transmission. If the viewing method is mystical or psychic (or sufficiently advanced cyber implants), it can get painful for the voyeur. The reason is that the subject has a rather painfully full bag of counter-surveillance techniques. Mystical and psychic voyeurs will be hit with the equivalent of a Brown Note beamed directly into their brain (or Crown Chakra, whichever). If that doesn't make the voyeur go comatose, it will likely at least make them faint. Especially sadistic mental traps will use Things Man Was Not Meant to Know in place of a Brown Note... because people with Power Born of Madness enjoy making oracles go mad. Another frequent trap, usually employed by powerful villains on foolish good guys who attempt to scry their foes, is to overwhelm the seer and use Mind Control to really mess with them. This is a favorite ploy of Sealed Evil in a Can. When the "third eye" belongs to the audience, the "fourth wall" is being broken. See also My Significance Sense Is Tingling, Butt-Dialing Mordor (which can result in accidental pokes in the third eye), A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Read (when the poke is something disturbing rather than something painful), Psychic Static, and Psychic Block Defense.

Poke in the Third Eye / int_267cbfa	comment	In the webcomic Dominic Deegan, this happens occasionally. The first instance was when the title Seer scries upon a conspiracy of murderers with its own Seer. A "Seer Glyph" detonates his crystal ball, throws him back and alerts the target. Other times, it's a matter of one Seer peering at something or someone powerful enough to launch their own psychic attack at him. And then there are the more "mundane" situations like places scrying magic is forbidden to be used on — such as castles and government places... which are accompanied by magical alerts identifying anyone who does try to break this law. Antagonists will occasionally try and use Mind Control or similar Psychic Powers on Dominic, an accomplished Seer who once used the power of True Sight to singlehandedly break a Psychic-Assisted Suicide curse on an entire town. This never ends well for them.

This is exploited with much glee by Hiyori in episode 2, to the point that the local telepath Haruka vomits. Daichi does this as well, with ...better intentions, in Episode 3. He feeds Kotoura images of her strapped to a table and him ready to dissect her, thinking that neither Manabe or Yuriko will be coming ...30 seconds before they arrive with lunch and Kotoura realizes that he was teasing her. Manabe also regularly does a much milder form of this to Haruka. He readily admits that he'll sometimes fantasize about her (including imagining a bust upgrade) just to get a reaction out of her - it's just a form of playful teasing to him. He even internally notes that fantasizing about her isn't as fun if she can't react, such as when she's briefly Brought Down to Normal due to a cold.

Percy gets drawn into a vision of the Rainbow Serpent in Australia while touching ancient water in a dried riverbed. The Serpent smacks him out of the vision with their tail hard enough to send him flying, landing him on his mortal spot (causing him to black out) and leaves him drenched in rainwaterâ€¦ in the middle of a desert with not a cloud in sight. He is noticeably rather freaked out by this. The author notes at the end of the chapter point out that, given the circumstances, that was actually rather gentle.

Poke in the Third Eye / int_2e3e7ac2	comment	Justice League: This happens so many times to J'onn J'onz in that he may as well not ever bother using his telepathy. In "A Knight of Shadows", he attempts to use his abilities to look across the world for Morgaine Le Faye. Being a powerful immortal sorceress, Morgaine doesn't look kindly to the intrusion and overpowers him with her magic. The rest of the episode involves her tormenting him with images of restoring his family and homeworld in exchange for a powerful artifact. In "Starcrossed", he does decide that the situation is critical enough that he'd rather force his way through the poke, but the results are unpleasant for everyone involved, especially the guy getting read. In a bit of an inversion, Gorilla Grodd has placed telepathic safeguards in each member of the Legion of Doom that prevents them from having their minds read... unfortunately, the "safeguard" is shorting out the villains' synapses! In "The Great Brain Robbery", two simultaneous attempts by villains and heroes results in a "Freaky Friday" Flip between Lex Luthor and the Flash. Hilarity ensues.

And to piss him off. Harry Dresden suffers a rare villain-to-hero example while scrying through Little Chicago in White Night. He notes in the RPG that not only is physically harming someone through a scrying normally impossible, but the villain Cowl essentially did it through two different scryings, since Harry was himself spying on a scrying. Harry is not surprised by the fact Cowl was able to do something doubly impossible. A variation in Small Favor; Miss Gard senses Mab psychically spying on Marcone's safehouse and manages to block her sight. Mab is unharmed, but both Harry and Mab are somewhat surprised that Gard was able to interfere with something as powerful as Mab.

For example, even as a freshman fairly new to the school, ki mistress Chaka once tricked the infamous "Don" Sebastiano into allowing himself to be found out trying to use his mind control on her by first closing her relevant chakra to stop his attempt and then distracting him enough that he completely forgot to drop the link as he would otherwise have — cue detention. Ironically, she didn't plan the second part. Eldritch (nee range instructor Erik Mahren) is not just certifiably crazy, but has deliberately turned her mind into a kind of psychic "minefield" for snooping telepaths to run into and experience some of the unpleasant parts of her former life as a marine firsthand ...and Phase has now figured out a way to do this. She drove off the most powerful psychic on campus. By concentrating on a Britney Spears song until said psychic begged her to stop. As he automatically reads the minds of those present, even if he doesn't want to, Phase was told off for doing this to the poor guy.

Besides giving them the mental equivalent of a sunburn, he also instantly addicts them to his mindsight! He's also so "loud" and pervasive that if he's looking at someone that mental scanners are trying to locate, they have to raise their shields so strongly to protect themselves that they can perceive only him.

The first few times Harry fails utterly. On one occasion he accidentally casts a Stinging Hex, which startles Snape and breaks his concentration. Finally, he gives up and angrily uses a standard Shield Charm, which effectively reverses the feed and dredges up Snape's own worst memories. Snape isn't happy about this. Voldemort, whose psychic intrusions are the reason for the whole thing, also has it backfire when he possesses Harry and the boy is overwhelmed with grief over his murdered godfather. Voldemort never attempts to possess him again, since feeling any strong affection seems to hurt him.

If a Dispel Magic spell is cast on the viewport, the Crystal Ball is rendered non-functioning for an entire day. Any being that tries to use a Crystal Hypnosis Ball would have its mind influenced by the Ball's true owner. Probably inspired by the palantÃr from The Lord of the Rings. Some scrying spells have a chance of the scryer being detected. In earlier editions some also had the vulnerability that certain spells could affect a scrier... which could be taken advantage of, for e.g. Mind Control. "Live My Nightmare", a Spelltouched feat in Third Edition's Unearthed Arcana book of variant rules, allows a character who survived (or was revived from) a phantasmal killer spell to unleash a phantasmal killer attack born of their very worst nightmares upon anyone trying to pry into their mind by magic or other means. "Hostile Mind", a feat from Third Edition's Expanded Psionic Handbook, can inflict damage to anyone trying to use a power from the telepathy discipline on the subject — even with beneficial or harmless effects. The purest form is the spell terminate scrying, closing links with backlash which causes direct damage to curious spellcasters and explodes offending crystal balls, introduced in relatively obscure sourcebook College of Wizardry. After all, scrying spells seem to be safe when they work properly, but they all use at least as much power as a fireball, usually more. Third Edition's Book of Vile Darkness has the psychic poison spell (which despite its name is more akin to a curse, although it mostly follows the mechanics of poisons) for this very purpose. When cast on a creature, item or area, it means that anyone next trying to use divination or mind-affecting magic on the subject is exposed to the psychic poison. The effects are variable, but always involve some reduction of mental stats, which can be very debilitating for a spellcaster. 3.5th Edition Dragon Magic introduces the spell mind of the labyrinth. Any mind-affecting spell or effect attempted at the subject will result in confusion for the caster, or even a dominate person effect if the subject of mind of the labyrinth sacrifices the remaining duration of the spell. Forgotten Realms novels popularized this practice. Though usually it happens when secondary functions (such as communication) are used. In The Making of a Mage, an elf given an enemy spy's crystal ball claimed "Properly used, it can burn out one magelord's mind." Archmage of Menzoberranzan Gromph threatened those spying on him with blindness (see the page quote). It's rooted well enough that Counselors and Kings has a subversion: the wizard who fell for this ends up merely dazed instead of blindly flailing through his room, burned and bleeding from a dozen of shrapnel wounds. Mind-reading a Daelkyr from the Eberron campaign setting renders anyone doing so permanently insane. Ravenloft setting: To preserve suspense, the rules for surveillance spells are modified so that they create a visible, ghostly eye (viewing spells) or ear (listening spells) at the location being spied upon. Anyone who takes the time to watch out for such manifestations can thus detect when they're being observed via magic. A Dragon magazine article establishes that the same thing goes for psychic powers. Also, creatures with gaze-based attacks can send them "back through" the ghostly eyeball! Mind-reading some of the nastier Ravenloft creatures (like darklords, aberrations or intelligent undead) or the insane can provoke a Madness Check. Adventure RQ3 From the Shadows. The PC party may find a 5-foot-wide magical Crystal Ball in Azalin's palace. If one of them uses it to scry on Azalin, the lich can attempt to charm that person. If he succeeds, when the party faces him later the charmed PC will betray the party and help Azalin against them. The remote view trap psionic power shoots lightning back through scrying abilities, and there are several powers, feats and class features that do nasty things to the users of Telepathy powers. There are several magic items and spells designed for people who enjoy their privacy. Some merely hinder attempts to scry on the wielder. Others alert the user to scrying spells used on him. Some make a stronger point by dealing significant damage to anyone scrying on the user. One in particular allows the user to express his displeasure more personally — by teleporting directly to the location of the voyeur.

Poke in the Third Eye / int_81692f99	comment	In Shadow Operations: Resurrection (set in the Star Trek universe), the five species of the Carnora have a network of devices that allows them to telepathically communicate across lightyears. The Federation manage to get a hold of a node, and try to test it. The first sign something has gone wrong is when the hapless Betazoid who is doing the initial test pulls out his phaser and blows the device apart, then surrenders himself to security, repeating a phrase in an unknown (even to him!) language. Then a powerful Telepath from the Carnora shows up and makes it abundantly clear this incursion was both unwelcome and unwise and they are not amused; furthermore the next person who pulls this stunt is simply going to become a mental vegetable. To drive it all home, the language this Betazoid is babbling in is a Carnoric language the Federation has never encountered before, and the phrase is a plea for forgiveness.

Disturbed by Robin's increasingly erratic behavior, the Titans try unsuccessfully to convince him that what he is experiencing is all in head. He insists that they're wrong, citing his many bruises as evidence and asking if they think he did this to himself. Raven uses her powers to psychically connect with Robin and see Slade for herself. The next punch that Slade throws is so strong that it breaks the connection and sends her flying backwards.

Poke in the Third Eye / int_9a7088bc	comment	Star Trek: The Original Series has Spock using his Touch Telepathy several times on different species, including humans and some very alien aliens. Occasionally, the attempt goes wrong. In "The Devil in the Dark", he mind-melds with the Horta and ends up downloading the horrible pain the wounded creature was suffering. He does better on the second attempt, though, once he's managed to brace himself for it. In "The Changeling", the meld with the artificial mind of the NOMAD begins to go seriously bad, to the point that Spock is sent into a near catatonic state as NOMAD takes control of the meld. Kirk (who NOMAD fortunately respects as its creator) has to order NOMAD to let go of Spock and drag the Vulcan out into the hall to recover from the experience. In "By Any Other Name", the attempt to influence the mind of one of their alien captors goes somewhat wrong, as the mind in question is too alien for even Spock to handle. While his attempt to distract the captor works, he is literally flung out of the meld and seems badly disoriented for a considerable amount of time afterwards while he tries to make sense of what he just saw.

Given what we learn about Killinger's true nature in "All This and Gargantua-2", it's likely that Orpheus wasn't able to see anything at all and Killinger simply overpowered him.

She goes through a couple... intimate moments which she is embarrassed by, but ignores, until she gets to one of Trace's memories of his conversations with the much older and much more powerful dragon Nora. The memory of Nora notices Reni, and accuses her of peeking. There is no explanation for how this is possible, as Reni later explains that characters in memories are just pictures, without self-awareness.

When a telepath tries to peek into his mind he is reduced to an empty shell that can only repeat an infinite string of zeroes and ones until he is put out of his misery. Mark Meadows cannot be jumped, probably due to his power involving multiple personalities; when Blaise tries it, he is knocked out for some time. A downplayed and rather convoluted example with Lazy Dragon, whose power involves the ability to project his consciousness into animal effiges and control them while he enters a sort of coma. When a jumper girl attempts to switch minds with him, her consciousness is destroyed and she becomes an Empty Shell, while Lazy Dragon is abruptly thrown back into his original body.

One problem; Moon Knight is severely mentally ill and suffers from Split-Personality Disorder, on top of being the chosen champion of a literal god. Profile only narrowly avoids being driven insane by the experience of â€œreadingâ€� him and is overwhelmed with fear afterwards. Interestingly, this is only an issue when Moon Knight is in his superhero personality; Profile is able to read him perfectly fine when heâ€™s in his civilian identity, Marc Spector. The implication seems to be that Marc has different weaknesses and strengths depending on which personality is running things; Moon Knight is immune to mind-reading and can counter it, but Marc canâ€™t.

Poke in the Third Eye / int_e86200e3	comment	The Demon Girl Next Door had an arc that involved Shamiko reliving the memories of her best friend Momo in a Pensieve Flashback.note Which works a bit differently than in other examples, where observers cannot affect the events around them whatsoever: Present!Momo inhabits her past body and speaks to Shamiko through it, but usually refrains from doing so, as Past!Momo will act out events to the best of her memory otherwise. Shamiko must also be sure to remain as passive an observer as possible, as she could derail the playback if she does much more than stand around and watch. The main thrust of the flashback is Momo's past dealings with another magical girl, Suika Nayuta. Suika appears to be nice at first, but is actually a Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist. At the end of their confrontation, Suika is reduced to a black shadow, heals Momo's wounds... and tells "the horned demon who's been peeking in on them" that she will kill her some day. A bit of an Ambiguous Situation because, considering the specific rules of this flashback, this could either be this trope, or Present Suika was able to sneak into the flashback as an observer alongside Shamiko and Momo, inhabiting her past body like Momo did.

In Baldur's Gate 2, when the protagonist and the rest of his/her party reaches Spellhold, a resident Cowled Wizard takes the group on a brief tour, introducing them to Mages who have been driven mad through incautious use of their abilities. One Mage tried to scry beyond the known planes of the Forgotten Realms, but, as the guide lampshades, "Apparently whatever he saw didn't like him looking." A seer in Trademeet will offer to read you and your companions' fortunes. The companions' fortunes are fairly interesting and hint at their personal quests, possible epilogues, and in one case a betrayal. Trying to read your future traumatizes the poor woman so badly that she won't read anyone else's fortunes for the rest of the game.

In another scene, Bester and other PSI cops are confronting her, and she retaliates with telekinetically slapping them. Bester tries to call her bluff. She blusters and says that she really doesn't know what she's doing and might "accidentally" kill someone by popping a blood vessel in their brain. The Shadows have their own anti-PSI defenses as well, almost catching Lyta when she was trying to spy on their home planet. At one point, she purposely sets this off... and the planet explodes. Also happens when Ivanova is connected to the Great Machine on Epsilon III in order to find other First Ones using the planet's advanced sensors.

Poke in the Third Eye / int_fbf33963	comment	The main characters of Inception thought that the tough part of the job would be working around established theories: Namely, they needed a way to enter a character's dream-within-a-dream-within-a-dream, and once they figured out how to do so, the mission would be cakewalk. As it turns out, their target has trained his subconscious to attack dream-raiders, turning the mission into a desperate struggle for survival.

Poke in the Third Eye / int_fde6c0bc	comment	In an episode of Night Raid 1931, the protagonists face another super-powered individual who, in addition to several other powers, can read minds. He's defeated by the telepath of the group falsely broadcasting a message that another's powers have run out, which he doesn't realize is a lie, since his powers don't allow him to separate unconscious thoughts to truthful sounding ones being deliberately broadcast.
