Report: Mist abilities
Author: Anne-Line Decroix — Date: 67 days Post-Mist — Confidentiality: Public
Objective
Share all currently known data regarding Mist abilities as well as current hypotheses and ongoing investigations.
Background
After the First Mist Exposure, the few who survived all started to develop strange abilities that seem to be an extension of the Mist ability to bend the laws of physics. We still barely understand them, but doing so is essential as they are our only fighting chance against Mist contamination and Mist monsters.

Background
After the First Mist Exposure, the few who survived all started to develop strange abilities that seem to be an extension of the Mist ability to bend the laws of physics. We still barely understand them, but doing so is essential as they are our only fighting chance against Mist contamination and Mist monsters.
Mechanism
All Mist abilities are the results of the interaction between the human brain and the Mist. They are a manifestation of will and its imposition on the environment or on other beings.
How abilities work
Consequences
The environment: Imposing one's will on the environment is relatively easy, as it is unopposed except by the wearer's own belief or disbelief in the end results. If the act has any spectators, their own belief will also influence the results.Enemies: When two individuals oppose their Mist abilities, or when an individual opposed a Mist monster, the "winner" is the one with the strongest will, who then get to impose it on the "loser". A direct consequence of this is that any injury caused by monsters can only be healed if the injured individual or their healer have a strong belief in their ability to heal. Therefore, being traumatised by the attack and expecting an injury to still be present will cause it to reappear no matter how many times it is healed.

First exposure
Abilities are associated with someone's inner beliefs and desires, especially those that were foremost in their mind at the time of First Exposure. For example, most healthcare practitioners developed healing abilities, while military personnels developed offensive abilities.
New exposures
We hypothesised that a second strong exposure to Mist, such as during a Mist monster attack, should be able to trigger new abilities. However, it is incredibly difficult to get the right balance of strong exposure, survival to the monster, and non-contamination. It is therefore extremely not recommended for anyone to attempt this. We would also like to remind everyone that upon such an exposure they would have to be restrained and carefully observed for signs of contamination for a period of time whose length will be decided by the New Government.Conclusion
In order to improve your Mist abilities, you need to be extremely confident in yourselves and your ability to bend the laws of physics. However, as important is your need to act confident, so that the trust and beliefs in your success of everyone around you will reinforce your own will.You need to practice visualisation exercise and to study the physical mechanisms by which your ability could manifest—it does not matter if you get the physics correct, so long as you believe in the end result.
Please participate in our experiments on Mist abilities and answer our questionnaires!
This will help us under to better understand how they work and to use this knowledge to help you improve them and to help us protect everyone.
