Memory Erasure

Memory erasure is the psychic talent to erase, suppress, or wipe memories from the target's mind. This talent can be accessed through [[telepathy]].

 

The [[Master of the Kanima]] possesses this power over his/her [[Kanima]] servant through the bond they share. Throughout [[Season 2]], [[Matt Daehler]] erased [[Jackson Whittemore]]'s memories of himself whenever he shapeshifted into a kanima, including the murders he committed under Matt's control and getting rid of evidence, such as the blood on his hands.

 

A [[werewolf]] can perform this ability with a [[mind meld]]. In [[Season 3]], [[Isaac Lahey]] had his memories of his encounter with the [[the Alpha Pack]] stolen from him. In [[3x02 - Chaos Rising]], [[Peter Hale]] was able to the implement the process the opposite way to recovering Isaac's wiped memories, but only partially. Isaac fully recovered his memories using therapeutic hypnosis via an [[ice bath]].

 

The pseudo-supernaturals, the [[The Dread Doctors]] are able to perform this ability to massive proportions through their use of electromagnetism. While experimenting on [[Kira Yukimura]], they were able to induce memory loss of their prescence upon Kira herself, Kira's parents and an entire road full of people.
