If a sorcerous technique can be used to 'regain past memories', are there also sorcerous techniques that can be used to implant false memories and convince the person involved that they're correct?

On the other hand, if the gods judge souls, maybe Sethra just can get a soul-reading analysis from the god who does that. Karen Karen
