“Mental discipline of perfect emotional detachment”
Description§
Heart of Stone is a mental discipline that allows the practitioner to set aside all emotion and act with cold, perfect clarity. Abenthy described it as a state in which one could decline to shed a tear at one's own sister's funeral. The Adem employ it as part of their training in the Lethani, and it is not among the disciplines taught openly at the University.
