Mind Blank

Seems that people affected by this spell can receive tells without problems and being scryed as well.

Yes, during a roleplay I noticed my mind was still suscible (that's, of course, the wrong , misspelledterm, but I have no dictonary at hand right now ;)) though the Mind Blank cast on my character was really strong,.
Weit in der Champagne im Mittsommergrün,
dort, wo zwischen Grabkreuzen Mohnblumen blühn,
da flüstern die Gräser und wiegen sich leicht
im Wind, der sanft über das Gräberfeld streicht.

You begin to pray.

Mind Blank
==========
Abjuration
Range: Close
Target: Noncombat
Syntax: cast 'mind blank' <target>

This spell makes the target more resistant to all mind attacks as well as
invasions of their mind, including tells, scrys and the like. This spell can
be cast on others. This spell also makes you immune to several mind-affecting
spells.

This spell cannot be cast by a transmuter

(A) 8th Level Wizard Spells (B) Fate Domain
(C) Protection Domain (D) Trade Domain
Resistances for Lunette:
magic average fire average cold average
electricity resistant energy average acid average
poison average drain nearly immune hold immune
physical average healing average mind immune

You begin to pray.
A Soldier walks south.
A yuan-ti eye glows briefly and a whisp of smoke rises from it.
A small silver mirror glows briefly and a whisp of smoke rises from it.
You failed.

You tell Lunette 'glegkhgegh'
Lunette tells you 'glegkhgegh'
It never says removes tells, or mirroring completely.

I've mirrored myself twice and failed, but sent like 7 successful tells to myself.

yeah, for an 8th level spell it is ridiculously under powered. the spell foils wish spells directed at the user's mind or thoughts...but in the game it's a little less useful than nearly all of the 2nd level spells.

but it's probably not a bug, i'd have to assume it's just a difficulty having the code match the nature of the spell.

If there is a way just to make the spell immune to magic mirror...it'd still be underpowered, but it'd at least have a function.
Listen up! People pay good money to see this movie! When they go out to a theater they want cold sodas, hot popcorn, and no monsters in the projection booth! Do I have to come up there myself? Do you think the Gremsters can stand up to the Hulkster?

Or.. the fact that one might be wearring an amulet of communication.. wich has the effect of lowering one's mental resistances..

I dont know if one was worn though.

I tried with amulet on and off. Both said immune, both had tells go through.


But way back, when Seren was still playing, I remember him being annoyed he had to try to send a tell 7+ times because of mind blank.
