Sigils as forms of Psychological Alteration
We all know about sigils (and to an extent, probably have heard WAY too much of them by now). I myself use them, but mainly for personal uses - I find they're psychological alterers par excellance. Stop smoking. Loose weight. Remembering something.
The basic idea, of course, is that one is able to compress a desire into a symbol and fire it off, driving it into the unconcious. When I began thinking over the concept, I figured that the most effective target would be the using mind itself.
I've found it quite effective, and have even noticed a pattern: in 1-3 days I suddenly recall the sigil. At that point the desired psychological change kicks in. The only sad part is they don't always last.
Any thoughts.
