#oculus 2013

Taylor Hebert: 4/10. The mirror eats the vitality of plant life and animals (including eating entire dogs off screen), and with how it influences perception, Taylor wouldn't even know that her swarm is vanishing. Her one saving grace is that she knows PRT Master-Stranger protocols and that her sensation filtered through her bugs MIGHT act similar enough to a lens that she might realize something is wrong. But that is a thin maybe at best.

Blake Thorburn: 6/10. Practitioner Sight and wards should allow for him to see the spirits around the Mirror and want to avoid being in its reflection. He has some experience with that due to fighting the Barber as well. As the Thorburn Bogeyman, he likely fights the Mirror's various souls inside the spirit realm, and the only reason I can't say he'd win is because it has a ton of dead souls to use as ways to attack him.

Sylvester Lambsbridge: 0/10. Suuuper dead. Mind and sensory altering evil Mirror against a devastatingly intelligent but unstable person who speaks to the manifested people inside his brain? At best, maybe Sylvester notices things not adding up subconsciously, but by that point the Mirror has already won and claimed him.

Victoria Dallon: 7/10. Her history of using Master-Stranger Protocols, Shard instinct, and noticing when she's being mastered is a huge boon for Victoria. Ditto if she just closes her eyes and lets the Fragile One smash the mirror. The big issue, however, is that a sentient haunted mirror is sooo outside her expertise. I don't doubt she'd realize she was being influenced, but the issue is that would she realize its the mirror?

LVA - 9/10. They lock that mirror the fuck up and throw away the key. Maybe just outright purify and destroy it for good measure. They have too many abilities to ward off manipulation, possession, and spirit fuckery. The sole point from a perfect score is that perhaps the Mirror is so powerful that it could potentially overpower any protections they pull up.

Mia/Carson/Gio/Natalie/Ben - 0/10. Bro these people are fucked.
