Mindscape broken down.

1.It helps you process stimuli and information by creating a visual only seen,heard, ect by you.

2.It relies on your innate ability to understand or visualize information. This means that creating things that change in complexity, location, or other ways is more likely to fail due to an inability to picture it.

However, the technique of creating a basic framework and building the visual by adding complexity slowly allows the visual to be pictured easily.

3. The calculation thing was just me wanting my character to be on the battlefield, so it may have been a far strech.

4. A mind palace is a memory technique. It works by helping you associate data with locations and objects you know well.

An example of the whole semblance in work:

A character has sprained their ankle landing in the Emerald forest. Every step that he takes makes pain shoot up his leg, and there is no one around to help. In a panic, he tries to remember the weaknesses of Grimm found in the area. A visual of the character's room is used to help him recall more useful information about the weaknesses of Grimm in general. He associates his desk with nevermores, his lightswitch with beowulves, ect in order to create a data table with Grimm types compared to different weaknesses.

He hears a snarl and opens his eyes. When he opens his eyes, he sees a beowulf approaching. He panicks and uses earth dust on the chart/visual, but because he cannot visualize it as well when he is panicked, it just appears as a stone tablet with no features. The beowulf easily smashes through it and knocks the breath out of him, sending him skidding back.

With his life literally on the line, the character shakily gets up, only to see the Beowulf charging straight at him in an effort to prison shank him. He gauges the wolf's average velocity, assumes that the Beowulf is moving fast enough for his plan to work.

Mind and heart racing, he visualizes a Partisan, uses hardlight dust, and the beowulf impales itself. Snarling at him, the beowulf takes one step, then another, before finally colapsing.

Sorry it was so unclear in the format. It was rushed because I was studying for a test. Let me know if there are any questions.
