It takes of your intelligence, digests some, and converts the other to bursts of creative energy. It may sound odd, but it makes some bit of sense.

The mindfeeding power seems a little unclear. If the symbiont drains 2 points of intelligence the first day, the character heals one point over night, and then suffers 2 points of drain the next day, and so on, wouldn't this result in a net loss of more than 1 point of intelligence?
Yes, until it reaches its peak intellect. Wasn't quite sure how to work it. Will likely be tweaking.

Quote:
WHen does the draining stop? When the symbiont is at intellegence of 3/4 the hosts original total, or its drained total?
Original total. Will elaborate in the text.

EDIT: Also, the format of its name follows the format for subspecies, which insinuates that the Inspirator is a specific variation of Symbiotic Mind. Might we be seeing similar marvels, once you've successfully completed the Dozen Dungeon?
Its a possibility

Quote:
Shouldn't the subtypes be capitalized?
Maybe. Whats it to ya?
