Easiest thing first;

@Someone, It is an interesting concept but they handled it pretty poorly in the name of driving their plot forward. Nilin couldn't care because then she wouldn't do it and their plot wouldn't happen.

Fury in Skyrim makes them attack anyone they see by pretty much making them forget that they're friends. After the spell wears off, they remember that they're friends again and go back to what they were doing.

@Mini Well, we know they think enough to pick up and use other Grimm as projectiles with no care for if they get hurt? All this does is remove whatever it is that stops them from actively attacking each other.

And for the altering/deleting memories, well. I could go a few ways I guess. The basic premise would be that it requires concentration and the user is left unaware of the world around them as they basically 'see' the target's memory in their own mind.

The first option is that they'd have to make the target think of the memory, sort of like Legilimency from Harry Potter, and bring it to the forefront of their mind, or the user won't be able to do anything with the memory. This means that a person could conceivably avoid it by simply not thinking of what the user wants them to think of.

The second option is that there's a memory age limit; you pretty much can't delete memories that are too old. I'd limit it to a day or two at most, that way they can't go digging through month old memories. This gives the user a time limit to play with the memories, making it only useful if you have the person then and there and able to be manipulated without getting a knife in the back while you're doing it.

Do either of those work, or is there a better option you (or anyone else) ca think of?

@WC, this is pretty much just like hitting someone on the head really hard, only with aura and then amplified.
