A mentifuge is a magical or psychic device or one that purports to be such, worn to protect the wearer for any sort of mental attack, prying, or attempt at control of the mind. They are also called 'avertiments.' It is also a proof against mind-altering illusions, although 'proof' it should not be understood to be invulnerable. Magistrates and aristocrats commonly wear such devices. In poorer towns, a mentifuge is provided for the acting judge. The senators of Aurice are said to wear powerful mentifuges as medallions over their hearts.
