All right, I guess I'm just not understanding. It would have to be two different types of attacks/energies to be causing damage enough for death while also inflicting mental damage in order to provoke a vegetative state. I don't mean to be difficult, but I would like to know which sort is being caused or have a more direct understanding of what, exactly, is being done other than "psychic pressure". As I tend to reason it for myself, psychic force capable of inflicting bleeds and the like are usually physically-resultant in nature by damaging the tissue of the brain with an outside force that does not need to be there, while psychic mental assaults usually don't cause any physical damage but can definitely paralyze a person or otherwise cause psychological harm by digging open traumatic events or fears, etc.

Which, yeah, I realize psychic anything is not really... real or otherwise understood or anything, but if not doing this, then I got nothin' for participating when I'd like to be able to use Cain's unique fortuity to the foreigner's advantage somehow.

(Also I may be misunderstanding how Malicant's existence works, so ignore me on that part, derp.)
