Dear Anonymous,

My thoughts on Psyche-Locks are fairly simple, or as simple as mystical powers can be.

As you close in on the secret the person has locked away, you break away their mental guards, compelling them to continue until their secret is completely divulged.  This is where things get iffy.  We've seen multiple witnesses blatantly lie to Phoenix even after their locks were broken.

The best explanation I can think of for this is simply Phoenix's inexperience and lack of spiritual power.  Magatamas are made for spirit mediums, not lawyers who are also men.  The fact that he can use one at all is impressive enough.  So when he broke Ini or Luke for example, he only got through the first layer of their stories and missed that they were hiding more.

So in regards to Kristoph's black Psyche-Locks, this is where we have to just form our best theories.  Phoenix remarks at them being cold and full of despair.  I like to think the magatama is trying to tell him something.  That could even explain the color of the locks; an "expert mode" so to speak.  You have to remember that Nick puts his soul on the line when trying to break these locks and failure to do so can shatter his existence.

Kristoph is protecting his secret with his own corrupt soul and Phoenix doesn't even try to square off against it.  That's probably a smart move.  That cold was unnatural and foreboding.

I'm hoping to see more Psyche-Locks in GS5 and more done with them.  The magatama's a piece of Kurain Phoenix carries with him and it's also his most cherished possession and valuable tool; more so than any sci-fi heart scope.
