Mental Sanitization

Mental Sanitization is a practice whereby someone, intentionally or unintentionally, routinely makes time for clearing their mind of negative thoughts and introducing positive ones instead. For magic users such as Freaks, this is the equivalent of showering, since neglecting any form of mental sanitation will introduce a certain level of mental lethargy and make their minds more cluttered with negative thinking.

While an Unhygenic Mind can actually improve the power of spells that involve bad feelings, for the most part it is highly undesirable, even for magic.

The majority of Freaks do not know about this mechanic, while the few that do tend to be very powerful. Because of this, many Freaks possibly have the potential to be more powerful if only they perfected the art of mental sanitization.

Method
This can be achieved by establishing a "cleansing ritual", whether intentional or not. The more comfortable a ritual is, the better the effect. A task that is difficult to start (such as learning) or introduces negative emotions (such as complaining) both make for a bad ritual.

If someone personally enjoys and feels like sitting on a specific bench to watch the sun set every time, doing that every day will greatly refresh their minds, and with that, it will boost their magical abilities significantly. Some Freaks may have activities that can be quite deviant. Below is a list of Freaks known for their mental sanitization methods.
