Legilimens

Legilimens is one of the three Curse spells that can be obtained by Dark Wizard players. When a humanoid target is struck with this spell, they will be teleported to a nightmare obby that they must quickly complete in order to survive. If successful, they will wake up in their body with no ill effects; however, if they fail the obby, their physical body will perish. 
Legilimens has a wind up animation which makes its casting time slower than most other spells. 
Legilimens cannot be used in Duels. 
Once the player is Year 10, this spell can be purchased from the Dark Wizard Merchant for 15000 points. 
== Description ==
"Causes the target to fall to the ground and enter into a nightmare they must escape. If they fail to snap out of it, their physical body perishes with them."
== Location ==
The Dark Wizard Merchant is an NPC located in the Dark Wizard Hideout. In order to buy Legilimens, you will need to be a Dark Wizard. Instructions on how to accomplish this are written in the main page about Dark Wizards.
== Obby Description ==
The obby consists of a rectangular space with two islands at each end and a black pit between them. The player starts on one island, and the exit portal is on the other island. The path to cross the pit consists of a series of pillars that will fall when the player jumps on them. The roof, walls, and floor of the obby are instakills if the player touches them, and there is an instakill screen behind the player that will begin moving forward shortly after the obby starts, so there must be no delay in beginning the escape attempt. 
The obby is extremely difficult to complete on foot without spells, as the jumps between the pillars require great precision. 
== Escape Methods ==
=== Broom ===
If you are hit with Legilimens while riding a broom, you will be transported into the obby without dismounting the broom, allowing you to easily fly into the escape portal.
=== Wand ===
In beta, being hit with Legilimens while holding your wand would block you from using it in the obby, making Legilimens extremely difficult to survive. However, in the current version of the game players retain access to their wand. Spells such as Artemio and Hastio will allow you to quickly and easily reach the escape portal.
=== Flight ===
The Flight gamepass can be used inside the obby, allowing you to simply fly over the pit and into the escape portal.
=== Practice ===
Some players have practiced completing the obby on foot to increase their chances of surviving Legilimens, however this is no longer necessary in the current version of the game that allows the use of wands in the obby.
== Mechanics ==
Whenever a player with Legilimens unlocked joins the server, or whenever a player on the server unlocks Legilimens, an obby will spawn high up in the sky above the map. The obbies can be reached by traveling to the Dark Wizard Spawn above the Confringo cave, then traveling North and slightly East while ascending. The obbies are located above the flight limit, so other methods such as Anti-Gravity Potions combined with mobility spells will be required to continue ascending. 
When a humanoid is struck with Legilimens, the game will teleport them to one of these obbies, and a clone of them will spawn at the location where they were struck. Unlike Geminio clones, these types of clones will have the same max HP and same exact name as the target. Once the victim either dies in the obby or reaches the exit portal, the clone will despawn and the victim will be teleported back to their original location, either dead or alive.
== Notes and Trivia ==
* If the target escapes the obby without dying or using the exit portal, their clone will not despawn (it will naturally despawn after some time, but the game will not forcefully despawn it). This is a means by which players can generate clones of themselves that appear to be indistinguishable from actual players even when Homenum Revelio is cast.
*Legilimens was one of the most difficult spells to obtain in beta. It was located in the Restricted Section of the Library, which could only be opened with the Headmaster's Key, obtained by catching the Snitch. It was located in a secret room hidden behind a bookshelf on the second floor, which was only reachable after navigating multiple obstacles such as cobwebs. On top of all that, it was very expensive, costing 20 XP orbs to unlock.
*Legilimens was the most controversial spell in beta. The community's feelings about it could be summed up by these 2 statements left over from the beta version of this page:
**"This spell is widely regarded as the most powerful in the game, since only a pro obby player can escape it."
**"Currently this is the most fatherless and braindead spell in the game, meaning players worldwide hate it."
*Legilimens used to cost 3 Focus points.
