===Mystic Personality (Severe; Extreme)===

The mage develops an alternate personality with a diametrically opposed perspective on the supernatural. A Banisher becomes an enthusiastic sorcerer.

'''Effect:''' A Pentacle mage might develop Banisher sympathies, or explore magic that she normally abhors, stealing souls or summoning demons. The mage doesn't adopt a new name or personal history. She believes herself to be the same person, but each personality only vaguely recalls the other's beliefs and magical workings, filtering them through its preferred attitude. Banishers who suffer an episode around fellow witch hunters keep a low profile. They know that something's wrong. They might rationalize their position inside a Banisher cult by thinking they're infiltrating it. They could betray their own cult or hide away artifacts meant for destruction. The switch occurs whenever the mage is exposed to a particular trigger, usually related to the event that inspired the derangement in the first place. The episode lasts for a scene or longer, after which the mage's normal personality asserts itself.
